When you just love too much..
Judson King must be the ultimate Sonic fan. A young child, resident of Lawrence, Kansas, he loves Sonic so much he had about 5,000 pictures of hedgehogs on his computer ("Dear God, if ever an entire species needed a restraining order.." as Kotaku puts it), and worked for three years to get the local ban on the animals repealed, and succeeded.
He put together a hefty "Hedgehog Primer", got on the agenda for the city council, and made a case strong enough the board agreed there was "no good reason for the continued outlawing of hedgehogs".
While the kid's obsession is worrisome (surprised he didn't paint the thing blue), you've gotta admire that kind of determination. Let's just pray he's played the original Sonic games.
They banned them because they were thought to be carriers of 'foot-and-mouth' disease. Which is a threat to Cattle, which are a big industry in Kansas. Especially in the plains and around here.
In that case, THM, you should work to lift the ban on Mushrooms in your area.
This kid is a little obsessed with Sonic, but he's got some good determination to see that thing through. If he just wants a couple pet hedgehogs to name Sonic and Amy, then fine. As long as he doesn't later atttempt to lift the ban on having a relationship with a hedgehog
