I believe that plants have sensory feelings too.

Experimentation - Plants Have Feelings Too

So if your only reason for being vegan is your concern for animal welfare, the I suggest you try
breatharianism
It's not my only reason but it is my main reason.Sentient is not the same as having sensory ability-I have seen that article before as I do research whenever I get the time and am lucky enough to know some vegans with far more knowledge than I. But as we ARE actually an animal, and not a plant, I am very much more okay with eating plants than I am eating other animals.
Thank you for the suggestion though
