You missed the step where you assert that most people assert it is wrong to eat sentient animals, which is what would create the inconsistency, were most people to assert that.

You also need the word sentient to mean the same thing in both premises, otherwise it's like “feathers are light, what's light is not dark, therefore feathers are not dark”.
