I occasionally spot a hedgehog on our property, and with mixed feelings. They are quite cute, but:
Hedgehogs cannot coexist with our endangered species. Removing them from the environment is an essential step to saving what makes Aotearoa unique.

Apparently it's not a good sign for a hedgehog to be roaming around during the day. The one I spotted today seemed reasonably fit and well.

Oh yeah, I feel the same way about blackbirds over here. They're lovely to listen to, but there's no denying that they're a pest.
