charlie caller 3,654 Posted December 20, 2013 Report Share Posted December 20, 2013 Reasonable force in the circumstances mate, so if you think yourselves or the kids/animals ect are in imminent danger, a stout iron bar,hammer, or whatever tool you were USING at the time 2 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
forest of dean redneck 11,692 Posted December 20, 2013 Report Share Posted December 20, 2013 If it jumps into your garden ,acting aggressive I'm sure you would be in your legal right to grab something instinctively and wallop it couple times. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
BIGLURKS 874 Posted December 20, 2013 Report Share Posted December 20, 2013 Not just build a bigger sturdier fence 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
The Seeker 3,048 Posted December 20, 2013 Report Share Posted December 20, 2013 Yep reasonable force, in other words if it comes on your property and shows aggression and a serious threat to you, your family or your pets you are well within your right to defend your property with whatever action you deem fit to protect you and your family.
