This is a discussion about 飢えたる犬は棒を恐れず

What does this mean?

probably "desperate people are not afraid of anything and will do anything to survive"?

犬は飢えていれば棒を持って攻撃してくる人間にも構わず襲いかかる。転じて、生活に困ったものは危険なことや悪いことをしてしまうものだという意味。
If a dog is hungry, it will attack a human who attacks it with a stick, no matter what. Translated, it means that those who have trouble making a living are likely to do dangerous or bad things.
