    Plants cannot think or feel as animals can. Arguing a tomato has the emotions and thought of a dog or pig is just silly.

    Killing a pig versus a tomato is not the same thing dawg

      as animals can.

      As we can. We understand how animals think, because evolutionarily they’re closer to us. We don’t really understand how plants “think” or “feel”, we just decide that because they don’t have what we have that makes it okay.

        Just making up whatever you want aren’t you?

        “I’m not a plant therefore idk what their nonthinking minds are thinking”

        Who is we in your statement? Pretty sure modern botany understands how plants work and interact.
