What I don't understand
is:
People walk dogs on the street and if
dog
bites someone you can get sued, so it's
O.K.
However, if I keep dog to protect my
house, like many people do, the dog is supposed to bark and it's quite
possible
to bite the intrude (it's almost expected from poor dog). Can he sue me
then?
There are thousands of such homes protected by the dog ,although that's not
always a prime reason for having a dog.
If it's O.K. for dog to chase and bite
the
intruder (you cannot train dog to bark only or to tell the robber to go
away),
what's the difference having snake or some other potentially dangerous
animal.
Again, if that's O.K. what's the
difference having animal or some other mechanism of self defence. Where to
draw
the line?
Also, on the building site where
someone
is using explosive, you have visible warning signs and you have a warning
siren
before the explosive is lit. If someone walks into dangerous zone, despite
all
the warnings, sirens, people trying to stop him, and he gets hurt, can he
sue
them? I suppose not - he'll be considered lunatic, or wanting to get
hurt.
So what's the difference there, if you
put
all the warning signs, put siren and announcements and someone still gets
into
your house. Why he can sue you then for being hur?. Why he would not be
considered lunatic?

Somebody used to do something like this as part of a security
system
IIRC, but I don't think it got approval. You
never
know you might give
the thieving <insert expletive> a heart
attack or something.
Personally, if I catch anyone in the house
then
there's a big, sharp bit
of metal that tells them to leave
;-)

someone officer and I had to
