A hedgehog story. An odd tap, tap, tapping. A rapid tap, tap, tapping. Sufficiently strange to draw me outside at four in the morning. Make sense of it? Armed cats? Early morning panel beating? No, the sound is coming from deep shadow not far off along the road. Movement? Crickets and katydids, the distant swish of cars on SH1. Closer, I see a hedgehog marching purposefully backwards and forwards its face stuck tragic-comically in a transparent KFC Krushers cup. The tapping as he bangs the cup on the asphalt. I try to remove the container but he sees me coming. I am successful the second time. More an observation than ‘story’ otherwise it will never see the light of day!
Hey Michael…check out this status update I posted to facebook late last year…maybe someone should approach kfc with regards to hedgehog cruelty?
“AUE if it’s not my son waking me at 5am its a bloody giant hedgehog banging repetitively into my garage door and walls of my whare because it has a kfc krusher cup stuck on its head…i’m sure i didn’t look silly at all chasing it around in my pyjamas and pinning it down with a broom so I could wrestle the cup off without getting prickled!”
Hey Ra, now that you remind me!! I remember – will see if we get a response as I used the product name as the title of the post!! :)
