The Sonic fandom is alive and well in today's youth. ktka.com reported that 11 year-old Judson King became so enamored with Sonic the Hedgehog that he decided he needed a real hedgehog. Unfortuantly the animal code in his hometown of Lawrence, Kansas prohibited hedgehogs in the city limits.
Judson wasn't satisfied and asked his mom "How do we make them legal?" According to ktka.com, Jusdon researched every night for three years then sent a letter to city commissioners in January 2008, asking them why they didn't like hedgehogs.
Eleven months later, commissioners put his issue on a city commission agenda. Judson arrived in a suit and tie, armed with personalized folders full of hedgehog facts for each of the commissioners. It was no contest. Commissioners could not find a good reason why they were banned in the first place.
It took three years, but Judson got his pet hedgehog for Christmas. You go little dude!
