I call hoax. Mythbusters showed that it’s not plausible for someone to get shocked peeing on an electric fence. Has to be a steady stream ... not a natural thing for a normal man.

Can You Get Electrocuted by Peeing?
A stream of urine quickly separates into individual droplets, according to the television program "MythBusters." Because the urine isn't a steady stream, it would be highly unlikely that a powerful electric current could travel up it.
Nonetheless, though it may be rare, there are a handful of cases in which an individual (always male, it seems) has died when a strong electric current traveled up his urine stream.

Go try it and get back to FR with your 'first hand' account.

Or learn from the experience of others.

LOL!

As someone who grew up around electric fences I’ll advise everyone to ignore your advice.

As a teenager I had a very nice car with very nice wheels.

Except that our dog always peed on them.

I hooked up an old electric fencer to the entire car.

He only peed on the wheels once more.

Boy did I ever catch it from my mom, but the dog always gave my car wide berth after that.
