Electric Fence does cost less and work better
Electric fencing can be built as a permanent or non-permanent fence (Figure 1). Using electric fencing can extend the life of a page wire or rail fence. The high cost and labour involved with putting up and maintaining traditional fences has made electric fencing more attractive. When properly constructed modern electric fencing is much more dependable than older style battery operated units used in the past.

Preventing Bear Problems
What's being done:
·Electric fencing is an expected and affordable cost of operating a landfill in bear country.
·Properly designed and maintained electric fences are now being used by communities in British Columbia and this is helping to keep bears out of landfill sites. The Ministry of Environment has helped to install electric fences at 14 landfills and continues to help communities reduce bear problems.

Alberta's 'bear whisperer' at home with grizzlies
By Mark Stevenson, CTV Wildlife and Environment reporter, CTV News Staff
The couple's cabin is surrounded by an electric fence to keep grizzlies out. But beyond the fence , they are armed only with bear spray. In countless encounters with bears over the years, Mr. Russell says, they have never had to use it. They talk softly to bears, get out of their way and do everything to show them that they are not afraid and that the animals have no reason to fear them.
