They don’t have a brain really and kinda just float there. Do they even feel pain?

    Jellyfish eat animals and animal byproducts, so no, they are not vegan.

    Jokes aside, often vegans follow dietary restrictions for reasons other than an ethical or moral belief against causing pain. Many vegans don’t even eat honey, so I imagine jellyfish is pretty safely in non-vegan territory.

      I thought your first sentence was serious at first, since it genuinely makes sense to me. If growing a jellyfish causes animal suffering, I can see why a vegan may reject to eat it for ethical reasons.

        Can’t agree fully.

        My mother has a hive in the garden. The bees pollinate our garden, live lives as nice as bee’s lives can be and, at the end of the year, we take some of their honey and replace it with sugar, which the bees don’t care about.

        It’s a win-win, nobody is hurt, nobody is taken advatage of.
