Eating plants kills animals

As part of my deep dive into nutrition and my attempt to convince people that an animal based diet is ethical, healthy and good for the planet I've been keeping an eye out for relevant articles.

On that note I came across the following article about rice.

The article outlines how "Tanzania has culled millions of quelea birds to prevent them from destroying rice fields". This is just one aspect of how animals are harmed, albeit indirectly, in order to allow people to eats plants. Pound for pound it is likely when combined with pesticides and harvesting deaths of rodents that significantly more animals are harmed as part of a plant based diet when compared to an animal based diet. Plus I doubt being taken out by drones or poisoned are nice ways to go.
