They aren't being released by irresponsible yobs, but people just aren't aware of the risks.
£6M of damage at Smethwick, not to mention the untold risk to life. Cattle die all the time from eating the wire, if they fall in a field that is cut and turned to silage then the wire isn't seen and it is fatal.
These things can travel for 30 miles!
I think they should be sold with much shorter fuses and people made aware of the risks, making it a requirement to retrieve them too.
