No, you can't have sex with a living thing you can't get consent from.
Ya, basically.
What are you going to do? One option is pay for cruelty-free meat products; another is to stop eating them. One costs more; the other deprives you of a sensory experience you enjoy. Evidently, you find this an "evil" in that you find it morally objectionable somehow -- just not worth the money or the lesser pleasure to end that "evil." There's nothing inconsistent there.
But, how can you oppose bestiality? They (the, um, "zoophiles") want to do it because it's a sensory experience they enjoy. Is it wrong? I dunno, I don't see any indication that it causes any more suffering than the factory farming you're not even willing to pay more to prevent. Do you? If not, how can you justify criminalizing one (and calling it "wrong") and engaging in the other without any apparent remorse?
One could pressure for thorough regulation of the industry and state spending on development of affordable synthetic meat. It is unreasonable to expect consumers to research which goods and services they can purchase with or without financially rewarding ethically objectionable business practices. If one were fixated on the issue enough they might compile a list of foods that are okay to buy, but in terms of practicality animal rights positions often force strong proponents into inconsistent, lose-lose situations like the one you were describing where folks use the very product they are condemning. I side with dead0men here but you make a fair point, Alcon.
Of course, it's easy to oppose just about anything. It is not a matter of zoophilia being innately good or evil - merely a contest of subjective values. I consider rape immoral and I am willing to extend certain basic rights to other forms of life. If I wanted to pretend like zoophilia is immoral in an absolute sense I would invoke the harm principle, but then you could counter that it applies only to human beings or that it is not animal harm taking place that stirs up the controversy so much as people choosing to take offense to the act. Either way, it is sort of a futile debate. xD
