Original Question
"the dogs learn to fear the sound of fireworks from its owners, so how would you explain that there are hunter dogs that don't fear the sound of guns?"
Answers
1One fallacy that jumps out is the Complex Question Fallacy . The assumptions that are simply stated as fact in the question are a) dogs learn to fear the sound of fireworks from its owners and b) there are hunter dogs that don't fear the sound of guns. Both may be true, but need to be established first since they are far from well-known facts. In the establishment of these claims, it will be revealed that they are not as universal as they are being made to sound, that is, only some dogs fear fireworks (and these are most likely the kind of dogs that would make poor hunting dogs).
