    It’s possible that plants feel pain, not necessarily the same way that we do but there’s indications of chemical responses to damage and shared danger signals. And, well…

    In a macabre turn of events, there’s also evidence that plants can hear themselves being eaten. Researchers at the University of Missouri-Columbia found that plants understand and respond to chewing sounds made by caterpillars munching on them.

    Plants exhibit sophisticated abilities, sensing and reacting to various environmental aspects, engaging in communication and complex interactions with other species. While some behaviors are instinctual, others might hint at a form of cognition. Calvo’s work focuses on identifying factors indicative of cognitive behavior in plants, such as flexibility, prediction and goal-directedness.

      Pain seems to be the mechanism that makes organisms avoid stuff. So it stands to reason that everything that grows and has to avoid stuff feels pain.

  It’s really interesting. I’ve been vegan for a while and for mammal and bird meat I’ve actually grown a disgust to just seeing it because the whole process they go through to get there flashes through my mind but while i also don’t eat fish i don’t seem to have the same empathy in me for them
