People do not despise a thief if he steals to satisfy his appetite when he is hungry...
Proverbs 6:30

Stealing food prolongs one man's life and probably doesn't hurt the victim very much. It usually doesn't say much about how the thief feels about the victim. Stealing a wife, on the other hand, is like stealing a man's entire life for momentary pleasure. It shows utter contempt for the victim.

So true. A hungry person is not even allowed to carry of the fruit he stole with him off of the land he took it from, but they may satisfy their hunger. That is why the Apostles could take grain from a field they didn't own and Yeshua didn't rebuke them for theft.

I just can't recall whether the same counts when a person kills an animal and eats it. Do you maybe have a recollection if that then falls under punishable theft?

Stealing a wife or holding a person for randsom falls under the same punishment as far as I understand it, but please correct me if I am wrong.
