Yes, they are, but why not minimize any possible pain? They’re not going to taste any different.
The way to go is oysters. They have no pain receptors or even a cluster of nerves that could be considered a rudimentary brain. You can eat them still alive (raw on the half shell) and they’re none the wiser.
To be honest I picked the first result. I read something along similar lines, a bit more sciencey, from a non-vegan years ago. I understand two of the lines drawn by vegans are pain and consent. But oysters cannot feel pain or consent any more than a potato.
Some do. Some emit smells that tell other plants to turn bitter. Some communicate and even pass nutrients through the mycelial network. So let’s all agree on mushrooms maybe?
