"I do not think there is a defensible way to consume animals"

No defense needed, all animals are ultimately consumed and to imagine an alternative is to indulge in fantasy.

We can debate the timing and manner of consumption, but not the idea of consumption.

Are you making the argument that decomposing in the ground is "consumption"?

We are animals too you know. If all animals are "ultimately consumed", so perhaps there is no problem if I kill and eat some close friend of yours?

When people start defending their meat consumption, they seem to make all sorts of bizarre claims. Could you explain yours?

You're asking me to defend a "bizarre claim" that all animals share the same fate after asking how I would feel about cannibalism? Hard pass.

You wrote "all animals are ultimately consumed".

So if an animal dies of a disease, is it "consumed"? Could you explain your claim?
