imply use a sharp pocket knife to cut the line at your hand opening. If you want to be very thorough, cut this pile of line one more time into tiny 6” segments.
This cut line is now harmless and in fact will be used by birds to make their nests without threat to wildlife. You can scatter the line cuttings, minus any rusty hooks or lures underneath the nearest bush or tree. You can also take this line and put it in the trash. Either way, this will probably find its way into nests.
Long sections of line can become tangled on songbirds. They attempt to use the line and are very attracted to piece of stray, line and twigs of this size for nest building. The long lines are a deathtrap to these birds especially, because the birds become stuck and tangled in the lines. I have seen a bird dangling from the tree by fishing line.
