- wnight 15y agoTechnically, any fallacy is silly. But no, I wasn't attempting to use a fallacy in support of killing elephants. I was flat-out pointing out that his stance on some killing is hypocritical. I agree that shooting the elephant was a dick move. I'd just go so far as to extend that to chickens.
- logjam 15y agoI agree that killing for sport and eating meat are both unnecessary, do harm healthwise on an individual and social scale, and produce much suffering in the world.
