In this undated photo released by the British Hedgehog Preservation Society Friday Sept. 1, 2006 a hedgehog eats left over ice cream from a discarded cup. McDonald's Corp. said Friday, Sept. 1, 2006 it had redesigned the cups for its McFlurry dessert so that they no longer posed a danger to the spiky woodland creatures. The British Hedgehog Preservation Society has campaigned for years against the containers, saying hedgehogs had died while trying to eat leftover ice cream from discarded cups. Campaigners said the opening in the lid was large enough for hedgehogs to stick their heads in, but not to get them out again, and that animals not rescued by passers-by had died of starvation.
