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.

This is the way of an adulteress: she eats and wipes her mouth and says, “I have done no wrong.”
Proverbs 30:20 ESV
This is a real world application of vs 18-19. The adulteress believes that she doesn't leave a trace, but there is always evidence left behind, and the damage she does is discernible to those with the understanding to look in the right ways and places.

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.
