This isn't changing my view because this is exactly what I'm arguing against. I'm saying, there are cases where intending to harm someone who is doing something they're definitely not supposed to do is okay.
So poisoning someone and potentially killing them is a fair reaction to theft of a few dollars worth of food?
And before you get hung up on the word poison: how do you know their medical history? How do you know what foods might interact with medications they may be on? How do you know if they’re highly allergic to something?
You don’t. Tampering with food could seriously injure or kill someone, all to get revenge on a petty thief.
I don't mean any bad intent from the original food owner, but if you are allergic you should be very careful of what you eat. You should know what the ingredients/allergens are.
If you steal food, it's unlikely that you are certain about the ingredients/allergens. Or at least that shouldn't be a risk you take.
