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.

I am not familiar with that specific fallacy. It sounds to me like a synonym for a non sequitur . From what I understand, the argument goes something like this: P1: (housing law here) P2: Everyone deserves good housing. C: Therefore, the law should be approved. The second premise is an opinion, and doesn't help the argument advance. What we re missing, assuming the opinion is shared by the arguers, is HOW the law will result in people getting good housing. We are also missing arguments against the law and disadvantages for passing it. We need that part of the argument before we can conclude anything.
