    Others schools of thought are about avoiding animal products altogether, it doesn’t matter if it suffers or not - there’s no way to know. Therefore, it’s immoral to eat them if you can knowingly choose an alternative.

    But why animals in particular? Is there any more reason to think a sea sponge would be sentient than a tree?
