done properly and your not stupid about it an electric fence is harmless to 
even small children......generally it only takes being bit by one once and 
even pretty young kids learn what to look out for(sure in the heck didnt take 
us long and we werent farm kids)...will it sting some? sure but on a normal 
pain scale it doesnt rate very high....it goes away faster than the pain of a 
skinned up knee.....most individuals who are against them are those with no 
experience with them....its a far cry from sticking a penny in a electrical 
outlet....
