Ethics do not derive from law; and, unfortunately, few laws really derive from ethics. It may be ethically responsible to minimize one's interactions with the natural world, but that would be true whether or not the action were legal. The only ethical response to most of the laws enforced by the current over-intrusive state is principled non-compliance, and the only moral imperative is to avoid getting caught. Having said that, I have seen no mention of any animal-related activities in the current discussion that appear unethical or violate good sense.
