" Life " includes plants and while many of us might find plants sacred, vegans

are not opposed to eating them (most of the time). The line between the

animal kingdom and other kingdoms (plants, fungi, protists) is a morally

arbitrary line, much more so than is " capable of feeling pain. "

 

In fact, I have yet to hear of a vegan who is opposed to killing, or washing

themselves with the dead bodies of, sponges even though they are animals.

 

So, I think defining " vegan " as someone who avoids consuming products of

feeling creatures is a valid definition.
