The damage results not only from entanglement on the barbs, but also from dehydration, attempts by the animal to untangle itself, and impact with the fence and fence posts. The forces involved at impact are quite significant especially for an animal that is moving at speed. The longer the animal is on the fence, the less likely it is to ever return to the wild. Dehydration is a significant factor in nearly all animals rescued off barbed wire fences, especially in hot weather. Rehydration is critical to their survival. |
