**** porcupines man. They only exist to hurt other animals

Not at all. In fact, porcupine quills possess antibiotic properties so the areas where they pierce won't get infected. Keeps the quills a deterrent but really minimizes the long term effects of being pierced. Significantly less chance of infection / complications

.. hurt other animals that harass them?
Those quills are mostly defensive..
Like, I find it hard to believe it was the porcupine's fault quills ended up in that flying animal's face...
