Gamer Kid Gets Hedgehog Legalized in Kansas
By Aiden Chen |
Judson King 11, looooooves him [[link]] some Sonic. He asked his mom for a real hedgehog. Unfortunately, Mom said, they were banzored under city code. So he worked for three years to get it changed.
It’s a heartwarming [[link]] tale of a child’s love and determination, and learning about things like government and how to lobby it and then go on TV later to spin the necessity of piece of narrowly drawn special-interest legislation.
Judson says he did research about the spiny rodents, “daydreamed about him every single day,” and has 5,000 pictures. (Dear God, if ever an entire species needed a restraining order …) Then, after assembling a weighty “Hedgehog Primer,” he got on the agenda for Lawrence’s city council. And he made a strong enough case that the board agreed there was no good [[link]] reason for the continued outlawing of hedgehogs. Then they also legalized dancing and everyone got footloose. OK, kidding about the last part.
Here’s video from Topeka’s KTKA-TV to explain the whole shootin’ match. Good work, Judson.
