Default RE: is poaching ever justifiable?

ORIGINAL: GMMAT

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.
In one sentence you say you would steal to feed them and in the next you say there is difference betweenpoaching and killing(stealing)a cow LOL. Interesting LOL. Stealing from the state is ok but stealing from an individual is not?

Too proud for assistance but not to proud to lose money (fine), your vehicle, possibly your freedom all for poaching. Even more interesting .
