    Plants do not possess pain receptors or a nervous system, which are essential for the experience of pain as understood in humans and animals. Scientific consensus indicates that while plants can respond to environmental stimuli, they do not experience pain because they lack the biological structures necessary for pain perception. The argument that plants feel pain akin to animals is unfounded; instead, the focus should be on the well-documented suffering of animals in agriculture, who have been proven to have the capacity to feel pain due to their nervous systems.

      I love the plant screams that’s why I’m always choosing to devour them.
