Closed petition Ban the use of barbed wire adjacent to all public areas including footpaths

Closed on

Ban the use of barbed wire next to footpaths and around all public spaces.

To prevent dogs being injured, my dog hit a barbed wire fence at speed and flipped over with the wire embedded in her chest, we could not get her out as the tension was too tight. A nearby householder heard her screams and was able to cut the wire but she had suffered nasty cuts to her chest. A friends dog also went through a barbed wire fence and literally “skinned” her belly.
