Yes, I agree re animals vs plants and suffering.
And yes, maybe oysters are closer to plants than cows, in that regard.
But it's not just about suffering. It's about the morality of killing other lifeforms. Personally, I'm OK with it. I'll be eaten after I die. Indeed, I'm always under attack from bacteria, yeast, molds, etc. But I won't eat anything that I wouldn't kill myself.
