Bear Necessities…

If it's a standard electric fence (that's typically used for horses and such), it's a high voltage (1000-6000 volts typically), but very little amperage (in the milliamps range) and for a very short period of time, it's enough to to get your attention, but not enough to cause injury (it's the amperage not the voltage that causes injury).  The higher voltage ones are typically used for animals that have thicker fur. 

Growing up.. I had experience brushing up against electric fences used for horse and cows.  Would even test to see if an electric fence was on by brushing the back of the fingers against the fence.
