If something comes in contact with the string it gets cut. Birds suffer horrible wounds and many die. Humans who have come in contact with the string have also died. Some have had their throats cut. I understand that children have died.
It is not just kite flying, it is flying kites with sharp string that does the harm. It is meant to be aggressive and to destroy other kites. Sadly anything else in the way gets destroyed.
Oh I see. I must have not read the article properly. An example of humans being competitive with each other....fighting against each other. And they don't care about birds while they are engaged in warfare.,
How horrible. Yes LPC, kite strings like that should be banned. They are so dangerous. People could get wounded also. And ground animals, as kites sometimes fall to the ground and drag along.
Gosh. When we did it it was just for fun and to enjoy a windy day.
