Are animal rights incoherent and illogical?

Interesting blog from Mark Mardell of the BBC today about the animal rights ethical minefield:

... But if we eat beef, what’s wrong with leather? And if we wear leather, what’s wrong with fur? And if we allow fur, what’s wrong with Rover and Tiddles providing it? ...

MEPs are apparently voting to ban the ‘vile’ trade in cat and dog fur. Discuss.
