Oh, forgot: Inconsistency in motivation (i.e., worrying about the actions of big-game hunters and not about what happens in slaughterhouses) may be less acceptable than being consistent in abhorring animal abuse, but many people can't change so quickly, and it's important to find an entry point to begin reflecting. Moral consistency is very difficult to achieve and takes years of work, including many areas beyond animal abuse, so you need to cut people some slack, as they may simply be unable, morally, to disregard their other interests, owing to being too busy, too preoccupied, ill, unhappy, etc. At the end of the day, everyone is morally autonomous and unwanted domination can only have an adverse effect.
