Hence why veganism is a moral obligation to animals. It’s indefensible to kill or exploit/harm an animal without their consent (which they can’t give), and which clearly isn’t in their best interests
That’s a stupid argument, just by having sentience doesn’t mean we have any moral obligations to our food sources. There are plenty of incentives to human being’s health and society by reducing meat consumption, why would you choose such a weak reason instead?
it makes no sense to discuss consent from non-human animals. do you ask plans for consent before cutting them? or doors for consent before opening them and putting your whole body through them?
Consent requires sentience so no animal can consent regardless of power dynamic.

i don’t think one has anything to do with the other.
If you can’t think then you don’t make decisions, basically.
they are unrelated.
Sheep are sentient. You probably mean sapient.
Looks like the definition has changed in the last decade, then, because it used to exclude children younger than 5.
Well it means able to perceive or feel things
Well at that point we’d have to define perception.
