I have two outside dogs, a siberian husky and a husky/pitt mix. Lobo, the siberian husky, he's just a big ole puppy dog who wouldn't harm anybody. However, Cisco, the husky/pitt mix is one vicious dog and he gaurds my front door 24/7. I love both of my dogs very much. There are a variety of circumstances in which something might come up but here's my question. Under what, if any, circumstances, would it be legally justified to protect my dogs with lethal force? Please give specific scenarios.
My uncle said that its pretty much illegal to protect him with lethal force unless the perp was posed in a position that would indicate that I would be next. Is he right? What does 'posed in a position that would indicate that I would be next' mean? What would you do if your beloved pet was being attacked/shot at?
thanks everyone
