As a dog walker and someone who enjoys local woodland walks, I always fear that someone or something may get caught in barbed wire.

I was in an open field walking my dog. He fell and ended up with barbed wire all around his neck.

My current dog didn't see a barbed wire fence and ran into it.

These fences can be hard to see, and are often dirty, unclean, dangerous and completely unnecessary to have adjacent to public footpaths.

Please help save lives and prevent injuries.
