I always wonder how vegans justify owning animals without their consent.

They don't. Pets aren't vegan.

Adopting non-human animals that would otherwise be killed for lack of facilities to care for them is basically the only way a vegan can end up with individual custody. Even then, it's harm reduction and not ideal.

Sanctuaries with professional full-time staff are better, but there are mass graves everywhere full of non-humans that there were no spots in a sanctuary for.

That’s still owning an animal when it hasn’t consented to being owned.

Keeping the little ones alive doesn't require consent. Buying and selling them does.
