Well this is certainly a different story. I have just read on one of the BBC sites that a man in NZ hurled a hedgehog at a 15 yr old boy - I don't know why, no reason was given. It unfortunately hit the boy leaving him with a red wealt and a couple of puncture marks on his leg. They say that it is unclear whether the poor hedgehog was alive or dead when it was thrown!!!!!!!!! The man has been arrested for assault with a weapon, namely the hedgehog. If convicted, he could face up to 5 yrs in prison. What is your take on this? Do you think the man was cruel to throw the hedgehog? Should he be prosecuted?

That is very strange and weird. Isn't it? It is kind of funny in a way and then not so funny for the boy LOL. The man was to cruel to be throwing any kind of object at the boy, really, but we do not know why he was doing it either. It is kind of hard to judge without knowing all of the facts.
