Didn't the MYTH BUSTERS do a show on that?
Whew...there are a lot of different ways to get dead. Many of them have Charles Darwin's name associated with them.
Hey Ya'll...watch theeis.

I caught a guy taking a wiz on my front door the other day. I wish I had a metal door and some jumper cables.
Even the dumbest

A neighbor of mine (retired Electrician) in the High Desert years ago had a problem with a Male Cat spraying his door screen at night. He put down a
metal foot mat in front of the screen, wired both and that night was the last time the cat sprayed. Although the cat apparently wasn't killed, its
screech made it clear that it was unhappy.
Problem solved.

my grandpa was tired of the racoons stealing his watermelons out of his garden, Kansas wheat farmer ya know with a heart as big as a harvest
moon..........so he rigs up some leftover cattle elec fence and sets the device to cattle amps instead of little creature amps.
got up one morning and fouind a little youngin racoon with one paw drapped over the fence dead and electrocuted....he took down the fence and decided
he could share the rest of his melons.....he was quite a guy. i miss him deeply. his son preceeded him in death.

which reminds me of the old refrain that says it all...
"When I was young and had no sense I took a wizz on an electric fence It hurt so bad, it shocked my balls and made me crap my overalls" Bevis &

In 1999 my Rotty Arnold and I camped at Bahai Kino in Sonora, where there was a ground fault in the RV park system (we measured it, about 24VAC).
Arnold made the mistake of peeing on the hub of the old converted Greyhound bus next to us . . ..
After that he would make a 3/4 mile detour to get back to the camper rather than pass by our neighbor.
