See how you skiffed right off of the “plants feel pain” and dug your heels into “I’m protecting the innocent animals”?

Edit: You realize that anyone can see that you’re self-upvoting right?

Plant do not feel pain… they respond to stimuli.
It’s like saying antivirus software feels pain when it reacts to a virus on your computer.

And again, a plant based diet uses less plants, so even if plants did feel pain(they do not) veganism is the answer.

Yes, why wouldn’t I upvote my own posts? Obviously I like what I myself post.

Just because you do not understand it does not mean it does not exist.
Pain is a human defined “experience” to specific stimuli.
You cannot state definitively that plants cannot experience something equivalent.

"Plants respond to herbivore attack through an intricate and dynamic defense system that includes structural barriers, toxic chemicals, and attraction of natural enemies of the target pests. " – Nih.gov

So I mean they’re just “defending” themselves for no reason, right?

Even if this argument made any kind of sense then going vegan would still be the answer.
A plant based diet uses way less plants than a meat filled one because you get to skip the inefficient middleman of animals.
