[AlpacaTalk] RE: Electric fence
<<<<2. The next farm had hot wire, not sure why along the bottom on the
alpaca side also, boys started to wrestle and fight and one of there
beautiful boys got tangled up in the hot wire and died from
electrocution.
See what I mean! Every time I think I have it settled, along comes
something else to confound me! This is just too scary. And I will have
hot wire along the bottom and top - inside - to keep the goats in which
I am told are real escape artists and will put the horses to shame
When I questioned the person that I am hiring to help put the fence up
and mentioned some fo the things I have read here, he said that the
voltage (I think it was voltage, maybe it was amperage - that stuff is
so confusing to me) is so low that it wouldn't kill anything, and
besides, he said, the bird, or the cat, or the child would have to touch
the hot wire and the ground wire at the same time. He said the wire is
so small anyway that a cat is not going to land on it. He said the
stories I am hearing here must be household current - which *will*
electrocute, but not the standard fence chargers.
So, Heather and Mary Jane, HOW are these animals getting electrocuted?
If the wire is breaking and they are getting tangled up, wouldn't the
current be broken?
Thanks! Janice, days away from putting up a fence, and cannot afford to
make a mistake and would DIE if anything I did caused the death of one
of my precious pacas
