have a look at the first photo, theres at least 3 insulated wires in there, 1 either side and seperate to the main fence, and a third mounted on stand-off wire brackets

the insulators are to stop the current in the electric fence from going straight down to earth

Yeah, been around a few years. Originally it was reported as being a squad of Aussie soldiers on a training excercise that came accross it and took the shot....so, as usual with photos on the web, it's hard to know what the real story is (though the bit about the farmer is consistent).
