An electric cattle fencing unit would do it.  Those things will knock 
the shit out of you.  I put some up on a friend's chicken coop and 
flicked the wire just to see if it was functioning.  It was.  I will not 
be flicking one of this things any time soon.

Sadly, the first nitwit to touch it will sue... well, someone - anyone - 
everyone - and the taxpayer (that's you) will foot the bill and no more 
sparky.
