Can someone please help me obvert the following categorical propositions?

Question

Krista Neckles	Can someone please help me obvert the following categorical propositions? Hello, I am teaching myself introductory logic; I bought a textbook. In one of the chapter exercises, I have to obvert a few propositions. Obversion involves changing the quality of a given statement, and then replacing the predicate of the proposition with its term complement. I get that. But I have trouble now obverting these statements: "No cult leaders are people who fail to brainwash their followers", "Some college football coaches are people who do not slip money to their players", and "Some budgetary cutbacks are not actions fair to the poor". Thank You.

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.

Btw, you're supposed to inquire about logic. So, usually reasoning that includes words like "all" suffers from an argument from omniscience fallacy or sweeping generalization depending on how someone forms the argument, how terms are defined, etc...
