The violent reaction to the skin touching a fence reinforced with electricity is due to the sudden heat given from the electrical current warming the skin to very hot levels, causing burning and related. In addition, the electrical current tends to disrupt the current given in the neural system of the human body, causing in some cases temporary or permanent lack of movement within the body part that interacted with the electric fence, depending on the time taken 'touching' the current. A note to consider is that the current will require an exit point once it moves into the body, causing burning not only at the entry but at an exit, usually onto the other hand or some other small body part the points into the direction of the current.
A2. Remember that transmission via nerves is by an electro-chemical process, and that particular nerves are specialized for particular function. A heat detecting nerve does not sense touch, a light sensitive nerve does not detect sound.
But all nerves may be energized by electricity, so you'll feel pain from an electric shock. If the electric shock touched the head, you'd likely also hear sound and see a flash, even though neither actually occurred. The nerves of those systems were energized.

Are dog electrical fences really safe?
The decision seems to be 50/50 on whether or not they're really safe. Proponents of the fences say the shock isn't enough to actually hurt the dog and they are a great way to keep your dog in your yard. However, opponents say that the shock is inhumane and an electric fence doesn't stop other animals into your yard to hurt your dog.
