Exactly! Vegetarians and vegans do not eat any sentient beings.
A lot of people are confused on what vegetarians and vegans eat because a lot of people like to use the label but don't adhere to its definition.
A vegetarian by definition is:
A vegetarian does not eat any meat, poultry, game, fish, shellfish or crustacea, or slaughter by-products.
On the other hand a vegan is:
Vegans choose not to eat any foods derived from living or dead animals - no meat of any kind (no red meat, poultry, white meat, fish etc.), no animal milks (no cow's dairy products, nor sheep, goats etc.), no eggs, no honey, nor any other animal products (no gelatin, cochineal, shellac etc.). Vegans also do not use products or wear clothes that have been tested on animals or have animal ingredients in them.
