| Your static charge is DC.

| Disagree. DC means unchanging voltage. Static charge changes as soon as
it

| The fences probably use a capactive discharge circuit.

| This makes sense. Good jolt but relatively safe.

As a retired EE : DC means only direct current (as compares to alternating
current) it does not mean unchanging. (an over simplified example: If you
car has a volt meter watch it when the motor is off and when the motor is
running.)
