Yes, cars are a stupid idea. In another year or so people won't be able to afford to run them anyway.Should cars be banned from this main thoroughfare to avoid this happening again?
Mad_Lad - It might be easier and quicker to remove the offending barbed wire yourself. Try not to end up cutting yourself with rusted metal...
A website? I knew foxes were cunning but didn't realise that they could even use the internet these days...As regards foxes and such like ending up as carpets on the road, there appears to be a device to protect animals.

It's not an unfenced ditch. The OP said that the barbed wire that was there years before the hedge grew. Presumably there is now a hedgerow there. If there's cattle in the field, there is probably also an electric fence to keep them in.... or trampled by the farmers cattle as they break out through the unfenced ditch and onto the road. Also try to avoid cars as they swerve to miss the cattle.
Well that's something new I've learnt today - farmers sometimes use barbed wire to keep cattle in.Barbed wire is being phased out and replaced with the more humane electric fence, but in some cases it's the only option, and mostly used as a safeguard along public roads and railway tracks.

Doesn't this add to vet bills?

Clubman is one of our resident bouncers a.k.a. moderator, so it's his job to roam these forums with his club, bonking the odd wayward poster on the head to show them the error of their ways, and helping the odd distressed punter with few words and much wisdom, racking up his tally of posts as he goes. I know... I've a bump or two on my crown to prove it! Sometimes he leaps out of the shadows with a razor-sharp cackle, and then melts back into the darkness...mostly to the delight of everyone here. Just another aspect of the forum that makes AAM more than the sum of it's parts....
Jack the lad - How docile are cows? - Would it be safe to venture into a field of cattle?
