I see some inconsistency perhaps but wouldn't call it hypocrisy--only a difference in opinion. The general public view is to refrain from consuming very intelligent/cute/young animals off the top of my head. If anything that's a result of applying human emotion/logic to the animals which doesn't seem to be such a bad thing. So much is a grayscale, it's not purely binary where cruelty to the smallest individual insect is the same as to any more complex creature. I'm not saying it's right only that it varies. 'Treehuggers' care for their trees and look down upon those who don't treat them like the animals. Where does all this 'equality' get us?
