electric fence
Zapping livestock boundary
An electric fence is a barrier that delivers a shock to animals or people who touch it, used to contain livestock or deter intruders.
The charge is typically pulsed rather than continuous, strong enough to be painful but usually not lethal: The cattle quickly learned to avoid the electric fence.
Electric fences require a power source and grounding system to complete the circuit when touched.
