Hog Tests The Electric Fence

12 week old Berkshire hog testing to see if the electric fence is still live. Fence is charged with 6 joule Zareba A100LI charger http://www.zarebasystems.com/products/ProductDetails.aspx?id=253 . Both me and my wife have intentionally taken the jolt from this charger, in bare feet, between a ground rod and the charger - full blast. Although this looks violent, and like the hog is being hurt, he isn't. The pulse only lasts 1/5000th of a second, and there is only 1 pulse per second (you can hear the clicking of the charger in the background). One is enough to move any animal, including us.

You cant help it but to both laugh and feel sorry for the pig XD

@ellieysama There's no reason to feel sorry for these pigs. Unlike commercially raised pigs, they lived a great life in a free range pasture, eating organic food every day. They would test the fence daily, but both myself and my wife have each taken the shock, full force, right next to the charger, and barefoot. There is no pain involved, but it does wake you up real fast.

@elliebee19 Actually, you're right. The pigs were named Ham, Bacon and Sausage. Bacon was the one testing the fence in this video.

After reading Orwell's "Animal Farm", I wouldn't be surprised to learn that pigs put electric fences around us!
