safe hedgehog


hedgehog-friendly ice cream containers - Yahoo! News:
US fast food giant McDonald's announced it had gone hedgehog-friendly, following a long running campaign waged by British lovers of the prickly mammals. McDonald's said it had redesigned cups and lids for its McFlurry ice cream so that they were no longer a danger to the animals.
Relieved British Hedgehog Preservation Society (BHPS) chief executive Fay Vass said life would now be a lot easier for foraging hedgehogs with a taste for ice cream.McDonald's 'always said they were listening but nothing seemed to happen', she said.'Then we got press coverage and public support followed and they tried a different design.'
'We were getting quite a few calls, enough to concern us, so now it's one less danger for hedgehogs to worry about.' yay good.
