    They can kill an animal (including a mammal) if they become entangled and give up out of suffering, though.

    This is pretty rare, but can happen.

    It’s virtually zero risk to a human, though, who can cognize things like getting their hand disentangled from a string (even in a panic situation), or to most mammals, which tend to jerk backwards on contact.


  • Oh. Here’s your fix:

    A longish piece of green grass. Hold it by one end, then slide it on the fence wire like the grass was a violin bow, getting your fingers closer and closer to the fence. At some point you notice a pinging, or your fingers are touching the fence.

    You can use this to gauge, very roughly, how powerful the charge is at that point.
