Once there was a law that horse stealing was a hanging offense right along with murder. Heck, one could shoot a horse thief right on the spot. The horse was the backbone and infrastructure of the times and without it there was no economy, no way of life and getting around in that society. Living was so dependent upon the horse.

Now we have the financial structure (peoples financial well being) that is not so far unlike the horse. Our whole lives are so entwined and dependent upon it. Without it, poverty, despair, and no way to get around in today's society. Destruction or robbing it from people, destroying lives, should be a very serious offense compared to murder and no room for "hand slapping". If it was, there would be a loss less "horse thieves".
