And we haven't seen Grimm attack animals thus far in the series - just people. It has been suggested that Salem may be the reason they are focusing on Grimm. Provided Qrow's telling of the Grimm's origins are accurate, there is no reason why Grimm should focus exclusively on humans unless there has been some change.

Speaking of potential inconsistencies with the World of Remnant, one thing bothering me is everyone assuming the women we see from Vacuo is a Faunus and saying that having a Faunus leader is significant. Just looking at the World of Remnant on Vacuo, however, he says they didn't have a formal government until after the Great War.

One thing that also is suggested in that episode is that there was already no real order within the Kingdom as they had already been getting exploited by other Kingdoms. I assume the other figures we saw were formal leaders of some kind, but with Vacuo it is suggested they had no formal leader.

Presuming the Vacuo figure we saw was a Faunus (I thought the horns could just as easily be a fancy headdress) it may be she was not really a formal leader. That would make somewhat more sense given the attitude towards the Faunus generally. Qrow obviously has a fondness for the Kingdom of Vacuo so I think that is also something where his reliability is questionable.
