While it is a living organism, it's not an animal. It's on all vegetables and in the air etc. You kill them when you breathe.

Or eat vegetables that are living organisms too… I don't really get it.

If there is milk or eggs in it yes. Its still vegetarian but not vegan in that case. If there isn't any animal products in them then it very much is vegan. Or was that not the question?

Yeast is a single celled fungus. Not an animal. Also not capable of suffering. Vegans can eat yeast.

So when they move away from an area that's too acidic it wasn't painful? When they move towards an area with food it wasn't because they were hungry?

Are you seriously suggesting that single cell organisms have experience of pain? Pain is only possible with nociceptors in a nervous system. Single cell organisms don't have either. Feeling anything requires some sort of biological mechanism to process and analyse information. We have brains and central nervous systems that facilitate information processing and feedback. They are necessarily made of more than one cell. Billions. You might as well be arguing that pollen feels pain.

All living things have a system of adapting to things that will kill them. It merely got more complex as time went on.
