Picture Above is of 'Snuffle's' a lucky Hedgehog who was taken in by the Epping Forest Hedgehog Rescue. 5000 Hedgehogs like poor snuffle's are going to be killed by the beaurocratic fools of Scottish Heritage in a mass cull on the Island of Uist. Although this may not seem a Local issue, it could be argued that these Hedgehogs could easily be transported to places like Kirkby.

Plenty of people would agree in Kirkby that showing kindness to animals is something which should be encouraged.

Hedgehogs are needed in Kirkby as there is quite a lot of slugs and snails around which the Hedgehogs will eat. This issue was first bought to Kirkby Times attention by(wait for it) a Tory Councillor! Funny how a Working Class Web site and a Tory can join up to make the world, a little bit better. The lesson of this Moral is.........An Hedgehog may have a lot of pricks, but now and again you'll actually meet a politician who is not a pri**.
