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.

Although this is not a form of argument but a question, it exudes a spirit of unverified claim that the other side has done everything in its power and that any request beyond that is superfluous, if not rude. Of course, this question in itself does not have to be malicious, someone can honestly ask this with the intention of hearing the other party's suggestions about a possible change of actions, but this question is often misused for the purpose you described. |

There is no argument here; it is just a question, so no fallacy. It might even fall under Socratic questioning if the question is sincere. |

Sounds like a question only Shakespeare can best answer. |
