7. Humans, cats & rats

Humans from the environmental destruction and poisoning of natural
food & water sources.

Cats (outdoors of course) don't often kill outright but can fatally injure.

Rats from the competition side (and the knock-on effect that people are
wary of putting down food unless they *know* that it will be a hedgehog
eating it).


(As a sad personal note: didn't see any visiting hedgehogs in my garden
at all last year whereas five or six years ago we had a family nearby ... )
