Read the argument made by commentator Rush Limbaugh in the following text box. People in Hegins, Pennsylvania, hold an annual pigeon shoot in order to control the pigeon
population and to raise money for the town. This year, the pigeon shoot was disrupted by animal
rights activists who tried to release the pigeons from their cages. I can’t help but think these
animal rights activists are the same people who believe in controlling the human population
through the use of abortion. Yet, they recoil at a similar means of controlling pigeons. What rank
hypocrisy.
Is there a potential fallacy of relevance (e. g. strawman, red herring, ad populam, ad hominem,
pro homine, guilt by association, honour by association, ad ingorantiam) in the text box
argument? If so, identify the pattern and explain whether the pattern is fallacious or not
fallacious. (Worth 2 marks)
