Because of the above statement, it is now a legal requirement to clearly indentify any protective measures employed in the protection of your home(i.e. A dog) that may cause injury to an intruder.

Again, thats where the Law's wrong. Its pathetic that someone who comes into your home, with intent to damage and steal can
still prosecute you, if they hurt themselves whilst commiting these acts.
