Not just people but wildlife and plenty of them. Since the American Cheetah went extinct ~10,000 years ago, Pronghorns ("American Antelope") have probably not known a worse enemy than barbed wire across the American West which is rarely laid out in such way that allow Pronghorns to duck under safely. To better put it, I'll just quote from The Monkey Wrench Gang by Eddward Abbey: “Who invented barbed wire anyhow?” Hayduke asked. “It was a man named J. F. Glidden done it; took out his patent back in 1874.” An immediate success, that barbwire. Now the antelope die by the thousands, the bighorn sheep perish by the hundreds every winter from Alberta down to Arizona, because fencing cuts off their escape from blizzard and drought. And coyotes too, and golden eagles, and peasant soldiers on the coils of concertina wire, victims of the same fat evil the wide world over, hang dead on the barbed and tetanous steel"
