Which statement best describes the effect of the
author's warning to be careful?
If you are hungry, you might feel inclined to turn to
poaching. But be careful: this is risky. Taking livestock is
theft, and theft is a felony which carries the death
sentence. Killing wild animals that live on another man's
land is also against the law; even taking a single fish from
a river can result in a fine of a shilling or more.
