PCU's Fallacies
In the movie, PCU there are many fallacies that are presented throughout the film. The one that stuck out to me the most is that this movie commits the fallacy of Ad Populum. This is an emotional appeal that speaks to positive ir negative cnocepts rather than the real issue at hand. This is shown when the "cause heads" are protesting about eating meat. They are attacking the people that choose to eat meat and saying that they are bad people just because they choose to eat meats, instead of just trying to help raise awarness of the effects of killing animals.

True...They tried to avoid the whole issue about killing animals by attacking meat eaters. Instead of actually pin pointing key issues for killing animals and how it may be morally wrong, they attacked meat eaters. in the end this tactic wouldn't ever make a difference because they have no support
