Default Electric fence - caveat

I don't understand this since electric fences PULSE. They don't
act like a stripped wire from a lamp or sticking a metal gizmo in an outl
et.
I had electric fences when I kept livestock and was zapped more than once.
It's not a constant "shock" you can't let go of. It's a zap.
There must be something wrong with your electric fencer. It sounds
downright dangerous. What if a child blunders into it?

Not all fencers "pulse"; some have a steady charge. You can't use
polyester/wire with one that doesn't pulse because it will melt.
