Veganism unavoidably implies a moral superiority where vegetarianism doesn't.

That's pretty irritating.

It also just doesn't mesh with most people's understanding of simple animals as simple and food-driven, not in any way equal to the long existential agonies and traumas of humans.

Their implied moral high-ground, in the face of rampant predator killings in the natural world, adds up to too much Disney and too little sense.

...and lions eat their own young let alone warthogs.
