- NameTheTrait was(is?) a logically invalid (non sequitur) argument with implicitly logically contradictory (inherently false) premises for veganism created by vegan Youtuber Isaac Brown a.k.a. "Ask Yourself", and popularized by his pupil Richard Burgess a.k.a. "Vegan Gains" a vegan bodybuilder and Youtuber.
The formal argument was structured as such:
Argument for animal moral value:
P1 - Humans are of moral value
P2 - There is no trait absent in animals which if absent in humans would cause us to deem ourselves valueless.
C - Therefore without establishing the absence of such a trait in animals, we contradict ourselves by deeming animals valueless
Argument for veganism from animal moral value:
P1 - Animals are of moral value.
P2 - There is no trait absent in animals which if absent in humans would cause us to consider anything short of non-exploitation to be an adequate expression of respect for human moral value.
C - Therefore without establishing the absence of such a trait in animals, we contradict ourselves by considering anything short of non-exploitation(veganism) to be an adequate expression of respect for animal moral value.
