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.

I'm guessing you're referring to someone who says "source?" for just about everything, even that which is considered "obvious". My first thought is logic chopping but that seems to refer more to making trivial objections to a proposition in order to distract from its main point. I get the impression, then, that rather than any specific fallacy, it's just a person being pedantic.
Using general terms is not always bad - it depends on what the person meant. Maybe they were making a comment about 'world peace', for example. When fallacious, this would be considered the ambiguity fallacy. |
