    So what's the criteria for selectively using some animals for companionship and others for taste pleasure in an age when we can live without those?

Custom, I guess? That's not morally relevant within my framework as long as the proper rights and protections are given to the animals in each role (which, as you've indicated, we usually don't do, which is unethical).
