Dare I ask you all here...what you think of mussels and oysters?
Specifically, would you eat them because they do not have a brain? And only a rudimentary CNS? Typically this is how people determine whether or not an organism can feel pain. I would class mussels and oysters in the "does not feel pain" category. Here's some more info: http://sentientist.org/2013/05/20/the-ethical-case-for-eating-oysters-and-mussels/
I've never had an oyster before but I enjoy mussels, and have considered eating them again. I suppose, that I'd find the "ostrovegan" lifestyle ethically acceptable, by my ethical standards (I'm a regular vegan now).
