I think you are bang on right, it's not abusive. You sound rational and resonable, but I would disagree with you on one point. You're not dealing with a hypocrite; you're dealing with a new age "religious" fanatic.
I can fully understand why you would want to pull your hair out at the ignorance of the "vegan teacher" and how if she was in front of you then you would probably describe well and logically, as you have done here, why your point is indeed right and how her reasoning is flawed.
But I can tell you this, you'd be even more frustrated after you finished that discussion, because it doesn't matter how resonable and rational you are here. You're dealing with someone who is sticking to a doctrine devoid of sense. Just as people couldn't talk sense to witch hunts in ages past, you can't reason with the the modern equivalent of religious fanatics today. They know what they see, and in her mind that is 100% animal abuse. People like that are infuriating, and unfortunately they seem to be about in every era.
