Closed Make hedgehogs a protected species and fund a hedgehog sanctuary

Closed on

Hedgehogs have a rapidly declining population and without help may become extinct. The Government should make it completely illegal to kill or harm hedgehogs with heavy fines and even jail for repeat offenders. They should also provide funding for a hedgehog sanctuary to prevent total extinction.

I want the Government to take these actions both to help to protect hedgehog populations, and set a precedent for preserving biodiversity.
