[QUOTE="trubkir17, post: 2767290, member: 112555"] My dad was a veterinarian. One day we go to visit a farmer and one of his prize hogs is lying dead in the middle of the corral. My dad does his thing, and we send a bunch of hog parts off for testing. The next day we are back out to the same farm and another dead pig laying in the same spot. Dad does another post, and we have another bunch of bagged parts to send to the lab. This time my dad checks out feed and other environmental things and we spend a long time on investigation. We got back to the clinic and there was another message that another hog was dead, out at this farm. (Pre Cell phone days). We head back and this farmer is losing it. He isn't mad at dad he is just bewildered. We are doing our best to not disturb the corral when the farmer looks at the tracks going to the fence. He walked up and reached out and said, "it looks like that pig was scratching". He then touched the fence wire and jumped about 5 feet in the air. I will remember the sound of his body hitting the ground forever. Luckily, he didn't get killed but he was very rattled and sore. Turned out he had some sort of malfunctioning electric fence, and it was electrocuting his hogs when they scratched against it. I will always defer to somebody else testing electric fences due to this experience. [/QUOTE]
