Let me state what should be OBVIOUS;
First of all, animals are wired differently than humans and do not respond to pain in the same way as humans. To stop an animal you have to disrupt his CNS or lower his BP � nothing more and nothing less.
Secondly, animals are incapable of psychological or emotional responses. You can�t scare him into compliance or cessation of action.
I guess I could write a paragraph or two to elaborate on those two points as they relate to the differences between self-defense against humans versus animals � but that should be redundant.
It�s amazing what people can reveal about what they don�t know, but I suspect this foolish argument will continue.
So, is a .32 or .380 adequate to kill deer? Under the right circumstances - of course it is.
