I would say no, but it's definitely a matter of perspective and definition. I would argue that all animals with a nervous system at the very least have something that we could recognize as consciousness. not harming any of them would be a difficult proposition. Especially for a pantheist, not harming any of God's creatures id likely not possible. Rocks come from the same stuff as you and me. Consciousness is an idea, a matter of language. That's where the problem lay.
