    Just like bulls and cows, an electric fence will not stop a charging animal, but most large animals move rather slowly and deliberately when checking out new territory.
    The first to state his case seems right until another comes and cross-examines him.

      Not me - I've seen video's of bears getting into things that would have stopped most superheroes.

        Well, of course not - you have to take away their credit cards for that!

        Thanks for the answers, guys!

          But I DO have one story....

          We had one particularly stubborn bull who, even if the electric fence were operating, would just kinda mosey over to it, lean into it with his shoulder, and just keep pressing til the barbed wire strands broke, then walk right into the corn field.

          I often wondered if he thought "yeah, it hurts like the dickens, but I am NOT going to let you win!"

            Having been bitten by electric fences on occasion I can say it does not feel real nice.
