Abusing animals isn't good activism.

I agree with you, but crickets are not animals, literally. Abusing insects isnt good activism*

Perhaps colloquially (or even culinarilly) speaking, in your part of the world, insects are not considered animals. But biologically, they are, as are all arthropods.
