I'm wondering about the meaning of a certain English proverb. Could you explain to me what the proverb "Don't shit where you eat" means?

It means that you should not cause trouble in a place, group, or situation in which you regularly find yourself, as it will likely backfire. A similar point is made by saying you shouldn't "bite the hand that feeds you".
