Hedgehogs have been left in agony after being caught in cruel rat traps in the North East.
Gateshead hedgehog rescue and rehabilitation organisation, Hope for Hedgehogs Woodside, has issued an urged warning to anyone using sticky glue pads to catch rats after seeing hedgehogs becoming trapped on them.
It comes after a little hedgehog named Jack Sparrow was brought into the 'hogspital' in Ryton in severe pain after becoming stuck on a sticky trap that pulled some of his toes out when he tried to escape. The poor creature also had the skin ripped off his feet and genitals by the horrendous trap.
