Under most conditions, I would agree with you. Unfortunately, the rules
change when dealing with geriatric animals with decreased mobility,
sight, and hearing. This farm is filled with such animals, and I would
never subject them to the potential harm of an electric fence. One of my
mom's geriatric dogs got caught under her electric fence and went into
convulsions because she couldn't figure out how to get away from the
shock. Nope, no electric here. Never.
