(Breitbart) According to the head of a Swedish animal protection group, behaviour in “immigrant-dense areas” is responsible for an increase in cruelty cases toward hedgehogs and other animals.
Earlier this week, Swedish media spoke to Annica Sjöberg, the head of the animal welfare group Djurens Vänner in the municipality of Nässjö, who claimed that youths were using local hedgehogs as footballs and kicking them around, Nyheter Idag reports.
Sjöberg spoke to the online publication saying, “These are immigrant-dense areas, unfortunately,” and added that the group used to visit schools and write notes in various languages in order to inform migrant children of the laws on animal cruelty.
