    Who set the goalposts of cows only? If we’re playing logical fallacy bingo, then that’s a straw man.

      Okay, I’ll be serious for a moment because logical consistency is important to me.

      I am responding to the image above. The image above is making the suggestion that higher rates of veganism means that cows will get to live. I am not arguing here in any capacity that we should only care about cows, I am making the statement that the premise suggested in the image, that there are cows that would be alive if there were more vegans is flawed at best.

        If the image showed a fox, you’d be saying they think you eat foxes. It’s not a good faith interpretation of the argument being presented - you might as well infer that they’re only talking about men in suits, too.
