I have farm animals and am a farmer. I raise these animals as a hobby to get cheaper high quality meat. Veganism bothers me because it places animal life on a pedastool over plant life. Plants suffer upon death too.

- iosnoob 3y agoAn interesting read on the relative likelihood of consciousness of various lifeforms on earth: https://rethinkpriorities.org/publications/opinion-estimating-invertebrate-sentience https://rethinkpriorities.org/publications/opinion-estimatin... Long story short, relative chance of plant consciousness is a lot lower than that of members of animal species. Regardless, the point is moot - if plants are sentient, that's even more an argument to consume less of them, directly, vs a lot more of them, via animals.
