Veganism isn’t about not eating what was or is “alive”. It’s about “suffering” (and avoiding it as much as possible).
You can find that fundamental belief in Buddhism or Jainism too. If you think about it, you can probably find it in you. Why would anybody want to make any other sentient body suffer?

We are only just beginnig to und erstand what plants feel. They habe Hormons they habe pain Rezeptors they habe a basic neural net. To assume a plant would not Surfer is a little outdated.

Veganism can also be about environmental impact. I’m vegetarian mostly because a meat based diet isn’t sustainable on a global scale. While I’m obviously happy about the reduced suffering, it’s importance is only in second place for me. Tho maybe veganism is pretty much entirely for reducing animals suffering, I’m only a vegetarian and won’t pretend to know for sure.

Vegan is just not eating stuff from animal, someone’s reasoning for that varies.
