RE: [RC] jumping electric fences - Kristene Smuts

HOWEVER - they don't seem to know this.  It is my impression that they

connect the dots between a vertical place where they get shocked and an
action of attempting to leap over that vertical place, and simply don't.

Mike, I'd love you to meet my young man!  I've watched him test the
fence and am quite certain that he, in particular, has reasoning powers
beyond the normal (even humans!).  He would touch the tape with one of
his beard hairs to test if it firstly is on or off and secondly, how
strong the kick is.  If it's off, he'll make sure by very quickly
touching the fence with his nose, then with his entire head, then he
will go through, over or under, whichever is more convenient.  If the
strands are placed too close together, he will place his head under the
top one and lift and pull so that the strand either stretches or breaks.
If it's on and fairly weak (battery operated), ditto above, but a bit
quicker.  If the fence is kicking, he'll be satisfied with that portion
of the fence, but go test another section.

So, never say never!

Kristene
