There are extenuating circumstances, self-defence for example, but in the UK the law requires proportionality. However violence is usually a sign of someone who lacks control, humanity, a sense of proportion, reflects poorly on character and is not to be undertaken lightly. Habitual violence is of course abusive.
If someone harms your dog a reasonable and responsible adult would report the matter to the police rather than go for freelance reprisals.

Thank you for your reply, ManOfConstantSorrow,
it is criminal to be violent here too. I was asking my question because the two three episodes I heard him do ( he told me it himself ), made me wonder if he had a reasonbable reason to snap and react the way he did. I would say to that a man of character would report it to the police instead of answering with violence. Its just that the two three episodes sounded quite reasonable. In the first incident he had just found his girlfriend dead in their bed ( her heart had stopped ) , and one pedofile was bullying him standing outside his home. I know that this pedofile has a dog. A mdeium/big size dog. I was thinking no wonder he ran after that pedofile ( and killer I have heard ) and snapped. But maybe theres no reason to snap at all?
Second incident, a stranger hit this mans little cute dog in the face out of the blue on the street, so he hit the stranger back same way, to make a point. He said at one of these incidents that if he see those dogs again he will kill him ( the pedofile ). There were some blood on this man shirt when running after this pedofile and after putting him down to the ground, putting his one foot on top of his chest to threaten the pedofile to not come back.
Does all this make anything reasonable? Does this mean he is abusive?
