Any Vegetarians/Vegans here?

Not necessary. Value as seen in common usage is subjective. Consistency and logical soundness are only of value in the pursuit of the objective.

Values are indeed subjective. But when those values are applied they must be applied logically and consistently. Do we agree on this?

There is no must. There would be no must if one value reduction in suffering, but only amongst some subset of those who are capable of suffering. There would be no must if one value reduction in suffering, but value some of what may be attained through infliction of suffering more. There would be no must if one value reduction in suffering, but judge the cost of the implementation of the reduction in suffering to in fact be be equivalent to greater suffering.

Don't quite understand what you are saying here, could you rephrase? Edit : Are you trying to say one can value suffering will still valuing other things as well? And the competition between how much suffering is reduced, and how much some other ethical value is satisfied can result in an action that causes suffering to be ethical? Furthermore even if one only values the reduction of suffering, an action that aims to reduce suffering, can, in its implementation, cause more suffering. Is this what you are trying to express?

reducing suffering is MY primary concern and comes way above maximising pleasure for humans

Indeed, as it is for me.
