In canon, Moody used the unforgivables on a spider, and given the prevalence of ostensibly non-sentient things-to-fear in the magical world (e.g. boggarts), it’s conceivable that they could have found a particular magical creature that even the most PETA-supporting student would have no trouble excising from the world. Also, as far as I can tell, there’s nothing in canon to contradict that curses’ targets are limited to Kingdom Animalia (see also: Harry’s existential crisis about sentient plants), and I seriously doubt there are any 7th level vegans at Hogwarts.

How do you level up in being vegan? And what powers does it grant?
It’s a reference to an episode of The Simpsons, wherein Lisa’s boyfriend states: “I’m a level 5 vegan. I won’t eat anything that casts a shadow.”
