The Royal Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Animals (RSPCA) has launched an investigation after witnesses reported seeing a group of young males, possibly teenagers, blow what looked to be cannabis smoke into a bag containing a hedgehog and then dumping the animal into a river.
The incident occurred on the evening of Apr. 10 in Market Harbourgh in Leicestershire, U.K. not far from Memorial Park, according to
Harbourgh FM. Witnesses managed to fish out the struggling hedgehog from the water and keep it safe overnight until the animal could be picked up by the RSPCA and taken to Leicestershire Wildlife Hospital.
