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.

There's an actual fallacy coined by Bo Bennett specifically for this area called quantum physics fallacy<>. It is when the argument is somehow connected to quantum physics to gain credibility when in reality the claim to be supported is not related to quantum physics whatsoever. Some religious people claim that the bizarre behavior of the quantum world is actually God manipulating quanta to intervene in the universe like using quanta to make cells undergo mutations that drive evolution in order to create variations among organisms and such. I believe that can be a form of argument from ignorance<>.
