If we formed justifications either for theft or against it based on those observations and how we might get to a desired resolution (the very essence of pragmatism), we would be letting nature "have a say" in a very big way indeed. We're often reminded that what is "natural" is not necessarily right (or wrong) of course - but it isn't made thus by virtue of it's being natural.
So you observe an animal having its property taken from it in nature. Then? What part of nature says "Therefore, it's wrong?"
