Vegetarianism?

But they thrive on light/heat and tbh i'm not sure whther they DO feel pain, noone really knows? Their "life" is totally different to ours, it's quite confusing. But would you like to be a tree lol? peed on by dogs all day <3

A pig's life is completely different to mine, just because we have similar organs and structures doesn't mean we're the same.

Yes but i meant as in a trees life, it stands still for 80 years if it's an oak thrives on moisutre etc. And we never eat "plants" we eat the products of a plant, so we're not causing them pain whatsoever. Unless you take the whole plant our of the dirt which would obviously cause it to die

So you don't eat carrots, potatoes, or any other root vegetable? Or lettuces? And eating their fruits is like eating a foetus, it's the fertilised seeds of that plant.

They have a system of nerves just like any other living thing, it's just as arrogant to say plants don't feel pain as it is to say animals don't.

But potatoes aren't like trees etc, they just grow and that's it? correct me if i'm wrong.

I Agree with FlyingJesus 100%



The animals only feel abit of pain when their thouts are slit, And most Countries use Sharp knives so the animal doesnt feel ANY pain.


In the wild sheep get ripped to pices, Also we kill more animals than lions etc.. do because we are the domantant species.

I wanna know how they don't feel pain ^_^ they have a nerve system you know? :s

If you have your throat slit with a sharp knife and the slit is deep you dont feel pain, Same with breaking your neck, if you snap it completey your dead, But if you snap it in a certain area you can be alive and in agony.

Good for and against for pain in animals. The pain in plants is bull as they don't have a brain to relay pain back to them so that arguments flawed.
But if you watch the video, the people aren't just slitting their throats they're beating them dragging them acros the floor letting them be trampled on and everything .
