In regards to eating meat

Also, we do not seem to have the same definition of what a sentient being is. For me, this means self-aware and this comes in 3d. I also believe everything is conscious even if not self-aware.

They have shown elephants to be self aware. Although these are captive animals, so it could also have come about through human interaction.

Yes then they are harvestable to 3d. In this case it's possibly their last 2d incarnation.

Yes simply because without judgment there would be no murders. And in this context, even if a human would be to kill another human, we could not call it murder

Is it judgement if it was said "the person is defective, please return to sender".?

We would have to define "defective". I think we are all "defective". We are all distorted. We are all the Creator trying to become once again without distortions.

Wikipedia:
Sentience is the ability to feel, perceive or be conscious, or to have subjective experiences. Eighteenth century philosophers used the concept to distinguish the ability to think ("reason") from the ability to feel ("sentience"). In modern western philosophy, sentience is the ability to have sensations or experiences (described by some thinkers as "qualia"). For Eastern philosophy, sentience is a metaphysical quality of all things that requires respect and care. The concept is central to the philosophy of animal rights, because sentience is necessary for the ability to suffer, which entails certain rights. In science fiction, non-human characters described as "sentient" typically have similar abilities, qualities and rights as human beings.

Using this definition, I would consider everything sentient. Yes seriously. Especially for the "subjective experiences" part.
