NZ man ‘used hedgehog as weapon’
Whenever I read stories like these, I’m torn between amusement and feeling sorry for the poor animal. Next time, use a hairbrush, mate. That way you’ll avoid fleas too.

It’s a strange place , New Zealand.
Yep, odd country — one minute people are black-hatted silhouettes, the next, they are eating red balloons.
I guess Richard changed his photo because didn’t want to be mistaken for and All Black.
How do we know he wasn’t eating a red balloon in silhouette?
God, that poor hedgehog. I am traumatized.
Richard, are you enjoying being mistaken for a Kiwi?
It’s a lot more gratifying than being mistaken for an Australian, I’ll tell you that for nowt.
