It's from a news article. There isn't any original claim he was arguing against stated. The claim follows after the sentence below.

Trump professed ignorance over the Black Lives Matter movement, then said they were anti-police.

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.

These are independent statements. Actually, in logic-speak I'd classify these as "atomic" statements. Nothing to analyze from the perspective of logical fallacy.
