I’m old to remember what happens when you feed them non-plant based diets. Sure, they’ll eat them, but they’ll also go crazy.

Yeah, no need to take it that far. Just let the cows graze outside and they will still eat the occational rodent like small mice (plenty of videos of it on youtube).

  Yeah, I’m sure they probably swallow the occasional insect as well, doesn’t mean that that’s their preferred diet.

    Doesn’t have to be their preferred diet for them to not be vegan.

vegan isn’t a diet, and cows don’t have an ethical position on animal exploitation

  Perhaps not, but their digestive system is highly specialized for digesting plant material (primarily grass). While I’m sure they can probably tolerate the odd insect or rodent that happens to be in the way, they do not do well on a diet high in animal protein, and in fact end up getting very sick.
