Default RE: is poaching ever justifiable?

Yes.

So my family's hungry.....and I have the option of:

1. Going to a food bank and declaring my need for assistance.

or

2. Killing an animal that is plentiful (here)and providing for my family, myself.

I'll choose No. 2. In that case it's justifiable in my eyes....and I really wouldn't care what anyone else thought. Would I steal to feed them? Yes.....if it came to that.

The difference between this and killing a cow that belongs to someone else is certainly evident, isn't it? So, the deer belongs to the state. Lame.

Justifiable to who? In who's opinion? I wouldn't be seeking other opinions.
