Even the ethical case for veganism doesn't have much to say about GMO. The idea that hurting animals is wrong doesn't in any way entail that creating genetically engineered plants or microorganisms is wrong.

I am speaking from personal experience, but most of my vegan friends are also vocally anti-gmo... it just seemed to me that man vegans are also anti-gmo so it might be a self-defeating effort to target a subset of a subset market.
