Remember thieves have the choice whether they commit the crime ......Don't let it get like the UK even punch an intruder you go to the nick ..your dog bites a burglar you get fined ..dog put down .. don't let that happen here breaking into someone's property should give the owner / victim the right to do as he pleases if my family were in the house and someone broke in I'd kill to defend them ..but of course in the UK I'd spend the rest of my life in jail ..
