In both of these cases, I did nothing to judge them. I was simply being who I am. I was accepting them, even though I choose not to accept their choice for myself.
I don't want this to be a personal question, even though the answer requires your personal viewpoint. If you know what I mean, I want to ask what your thought process is. Like what does "accepting them but not accepting their choice" look like in your mind? I still can't wrap my head around it.

That is in fact a very profound point and a question of great wrenching significance!
I still think animal suffering is the same as plant suffering. Frankly, the logos has us all suffering. Honestly, under free will, all humans DO have the freedom to inflict suffering on other humans.
