I know they biopsy animals to get the cells, but I just assume it's a one and done thing since there's no need to go back; or at least just once for each company working on it. If it's more than that, it would completely defeat the purpose and probably not be worth it for them.
Not perfect, but assuming they only do it the one time with an animal that was already likely to be slaughtered, I think I'd still consider it vegan.
Either way, I'll probably still stick more plant based. Even if lab meat is better for the environment than farm meat, it still needs to be "fed" and so will probably always take more resources than plant based to be produced.
