I agree that the inconsistencies you pointed out exist. It just may be too much, however, to ask people to give up using animals for food and for other purposes. I don't think it is too much to ask that we treat animals kindly in the process, though. For example, we may never convince large numbers of people to give up meat but it should be relatively easy to give up veal. On the other hand, with regard to issues like the Vick prosecution, I think fairness dictates we must fight to achieve consistency. Obama's refusal, for example, to prosecute Bush administration officials is unjust.
