Well, there are a couple of problems with that (or so I'd imagine, not being a vegan).
1. You can tell yourself it's made of unicorn farts, but it isn't. I mean, people who are vegan for moral reasons would presumably find that kind of deliberate cognitive dissonance morally indefensible.
2. The conditions in which the animals that go into pet food are raised and the slaughtering methods used, etc, probably aren't particularly humane. It's cheap meat, which comparatively speaking means worse conditions for the animals. It would probably be less morally dodgy to grind up whole, humanely caught rabbits or something.
Honestly, the answer if you can't bring yourself to feed an obligate carnivore a meat diet is to get a bunny or something instead.
