not in my house they don't. that is true in Great Britain. they expect you to retreat & not protect your belongings there. i'm not going to shoot someone just because they break in. but they had better be headed for the exit when i see them. if they know i'm there & STILL break in, the headlines in tomorrows paper will feature them & their exploits in all of the gory detail...

Doesn't matter how you deal with it if you end up in Prison. That leads back to lame laws that protect crooks. I'll drop anyone that breaks into my home while im sleeping. IMO it's assinine to wait and see if they are gonna hurt you.

i figure on putting a warning shot (after a vocal warning) into my floor. if that does not dissuade them, i'm assuming that they are there for ME or my family, and will respond accordingly. i'm not waiting until they are coming into the bedroom...👉 "BANG!" lol...

Human Ancestors Were Nearly All Vegetarians​

Paleolithic diets have become all the rage, but are they getting our ancestral diet all wrong?​

https://getpocket.com/explore/item/human-ancestors-were-nearly-all-vegetarians

this may have been true at a certain point in time, but the evidence suggests (STRONGLY!) that homo sapiens killed some species off by hunting. once we had spears, atlatls, bows etc and mastered stone point knapping, meat was much easier to come by. certain native american tribes followed the buffalo herds for a long time, and killed shitpots of them by stampeding them over cliffs (IE- "buffalo jumps" as archeologists called them) before they had those weapons. kind of hard to garden on the move...and difficult to grow enough/collect enough to make it through the winter. i have read some research suggesting that our evolution as humans was intertwined with our ability to kill meat to eat.

Can recall having read similar. Reflecting back, I am left wondering to what extent that may have been influenced by one lobby group or
another.
One of the things I read that has really hit home for me, is that the average person has more and better access to food today than any
royalty would have had a hundred years ago.
There is a woman that I heard speak who takes on the issue of morality with respect to food. Vandana Shiva is her name.
I find her perspective appealing.
