PrepTest 79, Section 2, Question 13
Weingarten claims that keeping animals in zoos is unethical. He points out that it involves placing animals in unnatural environments merely for the sake of human amusement. However, since Weingarten sees nothing wrong with owning pets, and keeping pets surely involves placing an animal in an unnatural environment merely for human amusement, his claim should be rejected.

The reasoning in the argument is flawed in that the argument
takes for granted that Weingarten owns one or more pets
inappropriately generalizes from a particular case
misrepresents the conclusion of the opposing argument
takes a necessary condition for a practice's being unethical as a sufficient condition for its being so
rejects a claim merely on the grounds that its proponent holds another view inconsistent with it
