We are happy to answer your questions.

All vegans follow a plant-based diet, avoiding all kinds of animal products (this includes insects, (shell)fish, bivalves and of course meat, dairy, eggs and honey).
But it doesn't stop there, because vegans also avoid other animal-derived products such a leather or wool but also products tested on animals and don't support businesses that exploit animals for entertainment purposes. Basically, it's not a diet, but a lifestyle avoiding harm as much as practically possible.
That's the difference between being simply plant-based and vegan.

Absolutely! - At least from the animal's point of view.
In general, though - not necessarily, vegans simply try to suck less.
Ask yourself this though: In this day and age, where you have a choice when it comes to your buying behaviour, why would you choose violence over vegan alternatives? Isn't it always better to be kind?

Actually, the same place non-vegans & animals get it from: Plants.
With the exception that vegans don't need to go through the middleman (or middleanimal). Not only is this much better for the animals as they don't get exploited and ultimately killed, but far fewer calories are wasted, so it's also better for the environment. And lastly, it's also much healthier as very little saturated fat and absolutely 0 cholesterol is ingested.

The same applies for calcium btw.

We are well aware that this question is generally asked to provoke rather than to get a serious conversation going, but in an effort to educate, we're gonna answer.

No.

Plants do have the capacity to respond to exterior stimuli, but one thing plants lack is a central nervous system. One other factor in all this is the fact that a lot of plants, such as fruits, are meant to be eaten so that their seeds are spread and new plants can grow from them.
Besides, let's for a minute imagine that plants do feel pain, wouldn't it make more sense to minimise suffering by eating the plants directly instead of feeding them to animals, where at the end only 1/16th of calories is left?

Vegetarians still contribute to the needless suffering and killing of animals. All dairy cows and all egg-laying hens will inevitably be slaughtered after only a fraction of their natural lifespan. In addition to that, 99% of the time, their already short lives are spent in absolutely horrific conditions.

Also, when you have decided to go vegetarian, you probably have spent some thought on this, so why not finish that thought and avoid all animal products, instead of just choosing to spare a certain selection of animals?

The simple answer: No.
All it takes is some getting used to. It's all a question of habits, because remember you have been conditioned to eat and live in a certain way for all your life, so of course it's gonna take some adjustment.
But in this day and age, it is easier than ever and there's vegan alternatives for all the things you would normally buy.

If you need help with the transition, check out our friends over at Challenge 22 (it's completely free). Here, mentors and dietitians answer all your questions and offer support for a duration of 22 days during which you will try to be completely vegan. After that time, it'll have become the new normal.
N.B.: Every single vegan we know agrees that their only regret is not doing it sooner.
