  Oil is from plankton and algae, and coal is from terrestrial plants. It’s all vegan

      Phytoplankton is composed of plants. Zooplankton and Ichthyoplankton are composed of animals.

  Also, I’m not sure how vegans view corpses of animals.

  Like a dead cow, chicken, or pig? Probably not favorably.
