The animal rebellion is worldwide and growing daily! Now people in England are being warned to stay away from a giant, evil porcupine that escaped from a nature park. The quilly menace has long, deadly poison-filled quills. It's a stone killer, folks. Run for your lives!
Twinkle, a three-foot (0.9-metre) long female, escaped from her enclosure at Eden Ostrich World near Penrith, on Saturday, prompting warnings because her detachable, poison-filled quills can become embedded in skin, BBC Online reported.
Jim Peet from the centre was quoted as saying that Twinkle was normally "cool" but was classed as a dangerous wild animal because of her spiky appearance.
"She could make a real mess of someone's garden and she should not be approached as her quills contain poison and she could become flustered if backed into a corner," he added.
Twinkle, indeed. Porcine pincushion of pain is more apt. (By the way, three feet long is a darn big porcupine – I've never personally seen one that big).
