Logic quiz update. Yesterday I asked a random group of people if these are bad arguments and, if so, why.
Many, perhaps most, respondents were not able to do that.
We can only hope that this was too easy for many people and so they didn't respond.

They also contradict each other, but that is not relevant to whether each argument is bad in its own right.
And if it's ok for animals to kill, it must be ok for us to kill too.
After all, we are animals.
But why do you say that presenting them incontrovertibly as arguments is not begging the question?
