This mirrors the argument of "if you eat meat, you believe in oppressing women." I had a friend who had a book about feminism and vegetarianism, called The Sexual Politics of Meat. I actually did think the book was interesting, and it made some interesting points about the weirdly sexual ways in which meat products could be advertised, as well as certain cultural practices surrounding the consumption of meat (the book was chocked full of drawings of "sexy" cuts of pork, etc, and brought up how men and women in certain scoieties were proscribed from consuming certain parts of animals).
But, like a lot of academic work, the author veered off into completely beyond reasonable territory, conflating meat eating in and of itself with the oppression of women.
I actually do think that there are arguments against our food system and it's heavy reliance on meat (and dairy, and eggs). The amount of water and grain that has to go into feeding these billions of animals is putting a great deal of strain on our resources. Seven billion people cannot consume lots of steak and ham and chicken.
The idea is that animals are sentient beings capable of pain and are self aware and thus should be included in the organizing of society along anti hierarchial lines and should also be given at least basic respect such as not being enslaved. exploited, killed or being the property of another needlessly. This is split within anarchism some viewing it as a logically consisent step others not so much. Some short good readings are animal liberation and social revolution by Brian Dominick as well as many other essays and zines that are easy to find. For more indepth long book i would suggest

With those you should find books on any subject related to animal rights you could ask most unfortunatly not with a anti capitalist perspective but most easily fitting along with a anarchist worldview
Now to answer your specific questions
What are we allowed to do to them and under what circumstances?
I view anything that doesnt exploit them , murder them, treat them as property etc... as acceptable so for example your current relationship with your dog can probably stay although we have to reexamine the concept of ownership
Can we use them for labor in any circumstances?
Directly I dont think so although there are some animals such as horses where as long as they are allowed free roaming i see no problem with riding again as long as it follows the criteria i see no problem
Is there anything that could justify eating them/their flesh?
If there was no choice either eating them or dying or starvation I think it would be justified otherwise it should be avoided at all costs
Will anarchist society neccesarily have to be vegan (assuming no in-vitro stuff has been invented) in order to be morally consistent?
Again this is a split within the anarchist movement but I would say yes as I see no reason being less intellegent should exclude non human animals from critics of hierarchies
Can animals really consent to anything at all?
Animals can be said to consent to some things even though they cant communicate with langauge they can in other ways and it can be obvoius when an animal is being pleased with its circustances and when they are not even though they dont vocally communicate they still get their opinions out in other ways
I hope I helped and feel free to ask any more questions you have
I kid you not
The Sexual Politics of Meat: A Feminist-vegetarian Critical Theory, 20th Anniversary Edition
This book (another bestseller) is in its 20th anniversary. Amazon has a nice summary along with reader comments:
>Many cultures equate meat-eating with virility, and in some societies women offer men the "best" (i.e., bloodiest) food at the expense of their own nutritional needs. Building upon these observations, feminist activist Adams detects intimate links between the slaughter of animals and violence directed against women
Also look at this quote:

Seriously, one CANNOT SIMPLY MAKE THIS SHIT UP !
Has anyone actually read the Sexual Politics of Meat A Feminist-vegetarian Critical Theory. It's super interesting though I haven't read it in a decade now. It was my vegan - feminist primer in the 1990s. I even wrote a huge feminist-vegan zine article about how abstaining from eating meat is a feminist political act using the book as a resource.

I enjoy debating and apologize for being an ass at times; being on the defensive keeps my guard up. I really resent my "read a book" statement, as you - unlike gamewarrior - didn't throw the first punch. When baiting threads like these, I often have four or five arguments going at once and forget who's being facetious and who's genuinely interested in discourse. :)
Funny you brought the issue of my masculinity back up, I'm currently reading The Sexual Politics of Meat which directly addresses the issues of "masculine meat" and the neutering of any males that chose to abstain (among many other sexist issues).
