They don't seem to care about the countless number of small animals that were killed to prevent them from getting into the crops.
Why should they? There's no contradiction in having the same moral consideration line as the rest of us with dogs on one side and locusts on the other, but placing cattle on the dog side and not the locust side.
There is a contradiction. Their whole reason for going vegan is to stop animals from being harmed by eating plants, supposedly. I don't recall vegans ever saying "not this animal, just that one".
In fact I saw a vegan earlier say that killing any animal for food is murder. It should logically follow that killing an animal to protect your food is still murder.
