I follow my ancestors philosophy, give it a long life good then slaughter it gets ya more and better quality meat.
they weren’t using the fact that their ancestors practiced this to justify it: they were pointing to them as an example of people who did it, and they also separately gave the justification: more and better quality meat.
i can see only two possibilities: you are not engaging in good faith on purpose, or you don’t have the skills to engage in a discussion in good faith. i’m open to the existence of more possibilities, but both of those i see have one thing in common: you’re not engaging in good faith.
It’s bad reasoning because there’s no reason behind their assertion beyond “historical figures did it, so should I”.
It’s literally textbook definition Appeal To History. You’re argumentative rapacity extends only to “no it isn’t!”
