"They never learn.' said the green-uninformed pilot, pointing down at the skeletons on the ground below them. 'And they never will learn,' he added and laughed, as though he had somehow scored a personal triumph over the electrocuted animals." (105)
The way that this man responds to the skeletal reamins so far below him shows yet again how the people in the other place show no emotions in the face of death. Also, everything in this savage land disgusts them including the defenceless animals. This electric fence can not be a necessary precaution when no one from the outside world want to break in. Also, the savages do not seem like they would like to get out. It is not needed to electrocute these animals either, as this fence probably would not be low enough for them to jump over. The fence just shows the scientific power that the other place could hold over the savages. However this is unnecessary because, yet again, the savages seem to be happy in their culture. So, just because these savages are labeled by the other place as wild and uncontrollable, there is no reason to contain them with force.
