    So it’s okay to cause pain to plants, because they don’t react to the stimuli the same way as animals? That’s what your link claims. Sounds like y’all are on a foundation of salt and sand. Plants are sentient, just not sapient.

      They dont have a nervous system you dumb fuck and even if they feel pain

      Regardless, each pound of animal flesh requires between four and thirteen pounds of plant matter to produce, depending upon species and conditions. Given that amount of plant death, a belief in the sentience of plants makes a strong pro-vegan argument.

        Neat, so even if I’m right- you wanna call names. I disagree that it makes a pro-vegan argument, it just makes vegans look equally as cruel, and intellectually dishonest on top of it.

          nah dude you started with the names and rudeness I just responded in kind, dont act all high and mighty now. And if you actually believed that killing a newborn is the same as picking a salad you would do your utmost to make sure your consumption minimizes plant death which again would mean a vegan diet since meat “production” requires a multiple of plant by mass, not to mention how many many many more plants have to “die” by the numbers to feed one animal before you murder it.

            Where did I call you a name? Man, you’re now arguing against things I never said. Not beating the allegations of vegans being preachy, holier-than-thou ideologues.

              Youve been calling it “moral grandstanding”, “self-serving ideologues” basically at every turn youve been condescending and snide, so don’t act all shocked when some of it is returned.

                I’m not acting surprised- I know how you people are. I never once called you a name. If you felt insulted by what I said, maybe it’s time to take a look inward. Sorry you felt called out.

                    I called out the MAJORITY of vegans. If you happen to fall in to the group of losers that use it as a way to feel special, that isn’t my fault. You just happen to be in a group of people that like to feel morally superior to others.
