Plants can apparently hear themselves get eaten,so you basically let plants suffer is you eat them. Checkmate, OP.

Hearing = feeling pain...?

I'm sure they feel pain, considering they obviously have nerve cells that tell the plant that it is being eaten and have shown that the plants try to react to the stimulus. There was an article on it that I remember reading, but you can probably look it up and find it.

Plants don't have nerve cells. Stop trying to troll.

Plants don't have actual nerve cells, but they have electro-chemical signals transmitted by "nerve" cells. So basically, they can do what animals do, even though they don't have a true nervous system. Also, no, I'm not trying to troll.

Edited by Blonic : 10/7/2014 2:54:17 AMMaybe not so much feel pain, as I was wrong in saying that, but they can tell when they are being eaten/"under attack" and do respond defensively.

Your choice of words is rather bamboozling. An organism's biological reaction does not imply the organism itself can "tell" anything. You are implying a form of awareness similar to consciousness in humans and animals. And as I said, this does not entail any of the ethical imperatives we have toward animals be extended to plants.
