If you are a vegan not because of health issues but because you don't want to harm any living being, what will you answer if they ask you "But plants are living beings too"?...
Or maybe you are a Jain? |
This is being disingenuous - both recouching the issue with something most vegans don't mean - "not harming any living being" and making things equivalent that aren't - plants and animals.
Sure..."living beings", but drawing one parallel doesn't mean all attributes are therefore the same.
