Consider the following enthymeme:
Cows and pigs have consciousness. So it’s wrong to kill cows and pigs if you don’t need them as food in order to survive.
What is the implicit premise of this enthymeme? Answer this question by putting the argument into standard form [see below].
(Do not change the first premise or the conclusion. Just repeat them and supply the implicit premise that works with them, as described in the lesson.)
Do you believe your implicit premise is true? If yes, give reasons as to why you believe it’s true. If no, give reasons as to why you believe it’s false.
