clarification about the definition of "Rights to Ought Fallacy"

The definition of "Rights to Ought Fallacy" starts with: "When one gives a reason for one's rights (constitutional or other) with what one should do". I don't get it the way it is written. Is it syntactically correct? What I understand the meaning to be is something along the lines of "When one conflates one's rights with what one should do". But I can't say I understand what you meant as it is written. Can you explain?

Eat Meat... Or Don't.

Roughly 95% of Americans don’t appear to have an ethical problem with animals being killed for food, yet all of us would have a serious problem with humans being killed for food. What does an animal lack that a human has that justifies killing the animal for food but not the human?

As you start to list properties that the animal lacks to justify eating them, you begin to realize that some humans also lack those properties, yet we don’t eat those humans. Is this logical proof that killing and eating animals for food is immoral? Don’t put away your steak knife just yet.

In Eat Meat… Or Don’t, we examine the moral arguments for and against eating meat with both philosophical and scientific rigor. This book is not about pushing some ideological agenda; it’s ultimately a book about critical thinking.
