    That would make a lot of sense, but as we can see the stringers are connected together, meaning they’d just short out if they were alternate polarities. To me this indicates that it’s like a standard livestock fence, with an electrode in the ground somewhere and the circuit completing through the animal.

    However, considering my 16’x48’ pig enclosure required a three-foot rod to be grounded, a system large enough for a sauropod would need a lot of grounding. Considering this, the fact that they used a circuit-through-animal design indicates it probably wasn’t the best way to do it.

    Spared no expense…

    Even throwing a metal pipe against it won’t do anything. Electric fences have one electrode in the ground, and that’s how your body makes the circuit. If they had run and jumped onto the fence, then jumped off on the other side they would have been fine with the fences still active.
