2Certainly up for debate and has been debated elsewhere (https://www.veganlifemag.com/vegan-myths-avocados-arent-vegan/). It seems to come down to your definition of veganism and acknowledgement that avoiding 100% animal exploitation is near impossible in modern capitalist society. – skippy619 Feb 18 '20 at 20:50

Linked question by Nic and Alexander contains very good answers that would also answer yours. You should go take a look. – Niitaku Mar 18 '20 at 10:43
