as opposed to the plant that longs for death?
there are plenty of nervous-system-like responses from plants that are undergoing destruction, why not just admit that the reason behind these complaints is a selfish human-empowering reason rather than the emotional appeal of "what about the animals?" ?
Won't anyone think of the plants?
"...you are denying others the right to live."
Isn't this basically just a condition of humanity? If it isn't a base principal can you point to a human that doesn't live that way?

- DoreenMichele 5y agoThere are plenty of animals that don't nurse their young. That's a peculiarity of mammals. And the scientific evidence suggests that plants do likely feel something akin to what could be called pain. Their inability to scream with sounds detectable by human ears isn't evidence they don't feel anything. It's not absurd. It's what science tells us -- that plants emit chemicals to communicate to other plants about infestations of insects so they can take action to protect themselves and when injured they may give off a "pulse", aka a type of scream.

It takes a lot of plants to grow animals, and we only get a fraction of the total calories the animal consumes.
