Quote: "They are already eating diluted cat pâté and trying to produce foam (this is how hedgehogs become familiar with new tastes). They're tiny, but proper hedgehogs already.

Their mother was killed today by cluster munitions from a Russian ballistic missile. By sheer chance, these little orphans were found amid all the devastation left behind at the site of the strike."

Details: In the second hedgehog family, five hoglets were killed. They were found by municipal workers among the wreckage of a tram track. A sixth hedgehog survived and will be cared for by an employee of the city's electric-powered transport service who already has experience caring for hedgehogs.
