“Abbott’s buoys are like a trap set for migrants,” she said. “This is a terrorizing situation. You don’t stop migration by setting death traps….You treat humans like human beings, not like animals.”

Swim up to the buoys, decide not to risk it and instead swim back to shore, but now your legs are entangled in the razor wire (oh, excuse me “sharp metal strips” according to the article) you didn’t see under the water.

Imagine the nightmare of trying to dive under the buoys and getting your head and arms entangled in the razor wire.

What a horrible and cruel way to die. It’s like something a Guantanamo Bay torturer would come up with as a “deterrent.”
