And exploitation, when talking about living things, implies unfairness and nonconsent

You realize the word becomes entirely useless if we use your definition, yeah? Virtually every interaction between living things becomes exploitation under your silly definition. It’s not very useful. I’ll stick with the more widely used definition, wherein it would be exploitation for Nosferatu to suck my blood, but not Mavis Dracula or her dad

yea. it is. but the vegan society’s definition doesn’t prohibit exploiting living things: it prohibits exploiting animals.

i disagree. i think it draws sharp contrasts that help us understand both the standard and whether we are meeting it.
