The McFlurry is now hedgehog-friendlyPosted Sep 1st 2006 10:02AM by Nick VagnoniFiled under: British Isles, Restaurants, Dairy, On the BlogsAfter more than five years of pressure from the British Hedgehog Preservation Society, McDonald's recently announced that it will change the design of its McFlurry cups to make them less dangerous to hungry hedgehogs. Apparently the little critters are prone to crawling into discarded cups to lap up the last of the melted ice cream only to find themselves stuck there. The result is often death by starvation and dehydration, according to The Times. The new cups will have smaller openings that should make them harder for hedgehogs to get into.[Via Boing Boing]
