There is a hierarchy of intelligence. It's not hypocritical to sacrifice insects for higher animals. Pragmatic attempts to live as ethically as is practical under the circumstances should not be dismissed because the harsh reality of nature doesn't offer a perfect solution.
Of course it's all pretend. This "morality" exists only in my mind, and trying to impose it on the chaos of existence is so futile it's funny. Nobody is watching us or grading our behavior, and in the end we're all dead anyway, and then it's as if none of this ever happened. But for a very brief moment, whatever creature you choose not to kill gets to enjoy few more small pleasures, however ultimately pointless. And a cow or pig or deer, because of more advanced brain faculties, is better able to appreciate that than bugs or whatever gets caught in the thrasher.
