A 41-year-old man in Thessaloniki is accused of violating hunting laws after he posted photos on social media of hedgehogs on a grill.
The investigation started after a local animal welfare association in Thessaloniki saw the photos and filed a complaint with the police. The inquiry revealed that the man had been posting gruesome photos of hedgehogs on a spit on his personal Facebook page since 2021.
The evidence gathered was sent to a prosecutor who will seek to charge him under the Illegal Hunting Act.
