I meant valid from the philosophical viewpoint where if you accept the premises, then you must accept the conclusion.No it isn't. He expects an animal to express it's choices in a human manner.
A bitch may be in heat, but she decides which dog gets to mate with her, she is hostile to other dogs.
Animals express themselves in animalistic ways. An animal can be hostile to surgery because it doesn't understand the concept.
An animal screams and struggles in slaughterhouses because it knows what's coming and it has a will to live.
A child doesn't understand sex it can't give consent to something it doesn't understand, so if you have sex with a child, is it wrong? Yes of course it is.
This doesn't mean the argument is sound in its reasoning. For his argument to be sound if and only if it is valid and contains only true premises, and I believe we are in agreement that it does not contain only true premises.
