A hedgehog has died after it was allegedly thrown around by three schoolgirls who then buried the animal in a pot plant. The animal, since sweetly named 'Hedgy', was brought to Haydock Hedgehog Helpers Rescue, based in Merseyside, on Monday evening, where he was given painkillers and placed in an incubator overnight. But the group's head, Kelly, shared the upsetting news last night that Hedgy passed away. Lancashire Police are now investigating the incident after locals claimed 'three girls around 10-12 years old were observed throwing the hedgehog down the slide and also throwing him up in the air dropping to the floor, before deciding to bury him alive'. Two young boys were said to have seen the animal be allegedly thrown around by the 'year 7s' in the park by Greenhill Community Hub, who then alerted a parent who joined them in rescuing the animal. His body has been sent to the vets for a report and they will hold on to Hedgy in case the RSPCA want to examine him, Kelly told concerned locals.

According to License Global, Jack and Sharon Osbourne have confirmed that an A.I.‑powered version of Ozzy Osbourne is coming, built with Hyperreal to preserve his voice, image and movement as “digital DNA.” Sharon said fans will be able to ask Ozzy anything, and “he will answer you in his own voice, and the answers will be what Ozzy would have said.” The A.I. avatar is planned to go “all around the world” for fan interaction. Jack added that the tech is shockingly accurate: “He will exist digitally as himself for as long as we have computers.” The announcement arrives as global interest in Ozzy’s legacy continues to grow, from the upcoming biopic to the return of Ozzfest in 2027 and the ongoing “Working Class Hero” exhibition in Birmingham. 📸 - Billboard / YouTube

🚨 CAT SHOT WITH .22 RIFLE IN NORTH YORKSHIRE VILLAGE A young cat had to be euthanised after vets discovered she had been shot with what is believed to have been a .22 rifle in a quiet North Yorkshire neighbourhood. The grey-and-white tabby returned home to Whitewall in Norton on 5 May after being missing for around a week, dragging herself on her front legs and unable to use her back end. Her devastated owners initially feared she had been hit by a car. A veterinary examination revealed far more disturbing injuries. According to the RSPCA, the young female cat had suffered a gunshot wound to the abdomen and a shattered femur, with fragments recovered from her body suggesting she had been shot using live ammunition from a .22 rifle. Despite undergoing emergency surgery, the severity of the injuries left vets with no option but to put her to sleep the following day on welfare grounds. The shooting has sparked fresh concern over the scale of weapon attacks on animals across Britain. The RSPCA said it has received nearly 500 reports involving animals targeted with weapons over the past three years, including shootings, catapult attacks and crossbow incidents. Inspectors are now urging residents in the Welham Road and Whitewall Corner Hill areas of Norton to remain vigilant and report suspicious behaviour. The use of firearms against domestic pets remains a serious criminal offence and animal welfare organisations have repeatedly warned that cases involving cats are often difficult to solve because attacks frequently happen at night or in isolated areas without witnesses. Anyone with information about the shooting is being urged to contact the RSPCA quoting incident number 01795343.

Doctors, if you're doing a prostate exam, please give the guy paper afterwards to clean off the gel. Nothing worse than wandering around with squelching arse cheeks looking for a toilet afterwards.
