[QUOTEFirst off, ethics are subjective.][/QUOTE]
But hunger is subjective. (!)
[QUOTE1) stealing an ATV and selling it
2) siphoning gas for the truck
3) killing a cow and butchering it]

Hmm, ATV's are private property, someone worked and paid for it.
Gas is private property.
Haven't seen any wild cows lately, have you?
If deers belong to everybody, why couldn't I be considered to be one of *everybody*? Who would be the victim if I took one and fed the fam with it?
Two guys walk into court, one charged with robbing a store or stealing an ATV, and one guy poached a deer, both say to feed the fam with...I'd be inclined to convict the thief, and let the poacher walk. You've made a bad analogy.
The man who poaches is less of a drain on the system than the couch potato who goes and gets food stamps. Maybe the food stamp office should give out rifle ammo instead of supermarket ammo?
I argue for entertainment purposes here! Just looking at the other side of the coin. I do not condone breaking the law or poaching if there is any other way. I came close to going to take a deer before. No cable tv, but my cell phone was still on. My work comes over that phone though. Should I have spent the cell phone money on food and let the phone go? What about tomorrow?? Luckily the phone rang and boom, I had food money. No deer needed. We got by. I would have felt justified in taking the deer though. Is it not my planet too? It wouldn't have been trophy hunting, or pelts for profit, just food. What the heck is wrong with that?
Only the Law. If subjectivity has no place here (because of the law) then why do we need judges? They could set up a pay center like a vending machine and save the judges payroll.
Relax! Just debate here.
