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.

A fallacy implied here is the Insignificant Cause . The implication in your first example given is that slavery existed largely because of the Constitution (when in fact, people turned to the Constitution to justify the practice). The error in reasoning, despite what we label it, is failing to draw a reasonable conclusion, which can generically be seen as a Non Sequitur . |
