She had to be cut out of the wire and miscarried soon after.

    While it is indeed absolutely horrible and inhumane for everyone involved there… this is one shitty and biased article.

    It sounded like they were forced to walk into booby traps full or barbed wire or something. While in reality they took a risk and it didn’t work out.

      I mean, there were still razor wire booby traps in the water. Whether or not they were forced to cross is irrelevant, literal death traps hidden in the water is absolutely inhumane.

            It’s a dry river. But this is just a normal fence that cattlemen all over the state use to keep people out/off their ranches.

                Right, because a booby trap is illegal so you won’t see that anywhere, but barb-wire like this, is 100% legal and used all over the state.

                  “Booby trap” is a description of its concealedness. These are concealed, on purpose. That’s the issue.

                  Moreover, they’re not barbed wire, they’re razor wire. There’s a massive difference between barbed wire and razor wire.

                    There is no legal distinction. Anywhere you are allowed to use barbwire you are allowed to use Razorwire ™ and both are used all over the world as passive barriers and no where are barbwire or “razorwire” considered a “booby trap.”
