The RSPCA has launched an appeal to track down the “barbaric torturers” who bound a hedgehog, slashed his spines and spray-painted him before leaving him to die.
The animal, which was still alive at the time, was found by a passer-by with its legs tied together by blue electrical tape, its spines trimmed short and having been partly spray painted blue on a footpath adjacent to Arkell Avenue in Holt, north Norfolk.
