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 is a difference between what is legal and what is justified. So it is possible they really did mean "murder". The statement is a basic non sequitur because it does not follow that murder is (overall / in general) "good" because of the isolated cases where it might be morally justified. To make this a reasonable claim, we would need to say: "Murder is sometimes good because it's sometimes justified." Then, of course, the debate can be focused on if murder is ever morally justified or not. |
