Is a bear fence safe for use around chickens and cats?

I see coyotes behind these coops most night. The know the electric wire is there.

If you want to reinforce those coyotes education about Efence, attach several pieces of bacon with clothes pins to the wire. They can't resist it. You can sit out back or just crack a window and have a whole evening of entertainment!

I like your set-up there! Not too elaborate or expensive but does the job! What kind of camera set-up do you have that took the bottom pic of the coyote? I want one of those, too!

I like that camera. It takes great nighttime pictures when most of the predators are roaming around here. It hasn't been available for quite a long time.

I bought this one too but marketed under a different brand name but it is identical. The only drawback is that they take the tiny micro SD cards.

I admit to not really knowing a lot about electric fence... But assumed that "bear fence" would handle bears... Here's one of several you-tube videos, though it is kind of short...

and here is another... Both say they are forest service approved for food storage.

For the sake of campers using them, I hope they are not wrong!
And this interesting video of polar bears...

I think a 4 legged critter would get more of a shock than one with 2 legs.
