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. It is unlikely that you will be hanged for taking a wild animal such as a rabbit; but, even so, you will get a fine amounting to three times the value of the animal as well as three months in prison, and you will have to enter into a bond to guarantee your good behavior in the future; a second offense will be treated more harshly. If a gamekeeper attacks you and you defend yourself, you can be charged with assault. You may find yourself on the gallows if you injure him.

Explanation:
As a result of the first agricultural revolution, humans were able to produce their own food as well as surpluses which meant that they no longer had to be nomadic people who followed food sources.
Due to the presence of the aforementioned surpluses, the society changed in that not everyone was required to work to produce food. Some of these people then became skilled workers known as artisans who could make goods and services that they could then sell to other villages.
This meant that trade did not just occur in villages but across them and led to a development in trade that brought prosperity to those involved thereby transforming small villages and towns to more complex societies.
