Rejected petition Find another alternative to barbed wire and cut all existing barbed wire fences
Lots of dogs and other animals (livestock) get wounded by barbed wire in the uk every year, costing owners thousands of pounds in veterinary care and also causes heart ache for the owners to see their animals ripped to shreds by this very lethal fencing which cover most of our beautiful countryside.

Being a member of many groups on Facebook, week in week out there are owners posting pictures of their beloved pets being seriously damaged by barbed wire. Then the owners are left with hefty vets bill and seeing their pets suffer throughout the healing process.
