Another Barbed-Wire Tragedy

This accident could have been prevented

Yet another horrific accident has occurred due to the use of barbed-wire and sadly it won’t be the last. Unfortunately this is only one of many barbed-wire fences spanning water ways in the greater Brisbane area.

Of the two Grey-headed Flying-foxes found entangled the one that didn’t survive was heavily pregnant with twins and died agonizingly by drowning.

If you do have barbed-wire fencing that cannot be replaced please make it visible to wildlife at night by using bright tape, flags or CD’s .

Thank you to the lovely locals who helped access the bats, it would have been very difficult otherwise.
