The electric fence unfortunately would not have been a quick death. They pulse so you get a shock then stops then shocks etc. The ones we use can be likened to being hit over the head with a very large piece of wood
but without the pain. It is NOT pleasant
and is very effective. One of my bucks [goat ] once got caught by his horns. I'm not sure how long he had been there but had sawn half way through one horn [ by the wire ] in an effort to get away. I don't like that picture either jessb, even though it is fascinating in a macabre kind of way.
