Vegan Bullshit Bingo #22

Plants have feelings too

No, they do not. There is no serious study to suggest that they do. Plants do not have a brain or central nervous system. At most, they respond to stimuli. If you really care that much about the welfare of plants, you should go vegan, since many more plants "die" for animal feeding.
Do you feel bad while mowing your lawn? And would you rather rescue a potted plant than a dog from a burning house? Is docking pig tails the same as branch trimming to you? Question upon question...

What part of "Tough shit, I am hungry" made you think I care about the desires of the plant?

[–] madjo@feddit.nl 2 points 4 hours ago (1 children)

Plants communicate.

Those tears you shed when cutting onions is because of a defence mechanism of the onion, the scent you smell when cutting grass is another.

We also know that fungi and trees communicate with eachother as well. They even help eachother gain nutrients.

Yeah, agreed. Life wants to live. Pain and fear is something animals feel so they can get away from potential harm. If you're immobile like a plant, it doesn't make sense to feel pain because you can't run. You don't need to have a brain nor a central nervous system to deal with that.
70% of global crops are fed to animals. Stop eating animals and grow forests instead, to make our planet healthier.

no, they're not. why would you lie about something so easy to find the truth?

More greenwashing

I'm surprised how much lemmy lets vegans get away with the greenwashing stuff

[–] hans@feddit.org 1 points 39 minutes ago

to the extent that they don't understand that they themselves might die, plants don't want too be eaten any more than they want to keep living. the same is true for animals
