There have been numerous studies regarding plant life and their ability to feel pain, or even have a memory of sorts. They may have evolved the ability to forget stressful situations, as a way of dealing with highly unpredictable environments. They can preserve such memories across generations; they can sense, learn, remember and even react in ways that would be familiar to humans. THEY ARE ALIVE.
That said, I would like to know how vegans can possibly excuse themselves from the merciless slaughter of billions of plant-life every year? Seriously, why is OK to eat these living things, when it’s not OK to eat others? Is it because plants don’t have a cute face? Is that the reason? Well, what is it then?
The next time you meet one of these militant vegans, you would be well served to read all these studies on plants so that you can grill them on their KILLING of innocent living things. Press them to explain exactly why it’s OK to eat one living thing, but not another.
Life eats life… that may be a hard reality for some to accept, but it’s fucking true. Do what you can to be as humane as possible, but goddamn, make sure you also enjoy that delicious hunk of meat on a warm summer day. Yum!
There have, indeed, been numerous studies regarding whether or not plants have feelings and memories. What you seem to be glossing over is the fact that exactly NONE of those studies have shown that plants have either feelings nor memories. I suggest you run your mouth in front of an actual, well-informed vegan so you can get some feedback, in person, on why something lacking a brain and nervous system are markedly different from animal life. Anyway, why the fuck do you care what anyone else eats if it isn’t a hunk of meat? Do you have a personal stake in the meat business? Are you being defensive because you have a sexual predilection for the world’s flora? If you have a problem with militant veganism, maybe consider stop being so sanctimonious yourself. Then fuck more plants.
OK, OK, you get your vegan-baiting merit badge. Now go suck a hot wing.
Well, life does eat life, the stars consume each other, etc etc etc
Sad, but true.
Ever see one of those heartbreaking videos of a small elephant getting taken down for the slow death being eaten alive by lions?
Horrific stuff, but the reality of life.
Why have you posted four ianons in a row?
Oh wow I haven’t heard this “But plants ARE JUST LIKE ELEPHANTS” tripe ever in the fifteen years I’ve been vegetarian. Nope not once! GOLD. CHECKMATE.
HOLY SHIT WHAT A FRESH TAKE
Have you ever seen vegetables that were not fertilized by either manure or petrochemicals? Everyone off their high horses.
You’ve got your argument covered for all of the middle-school vegans you encounter.
“Do what you can to be as humane as possible, but goddamn, make sure you also enjoy that delicious hunk of meat on a warm summer day.”
This is I, Anonymous, not Missed Connections, dude. Troll for dick somewhere else.
Ya totally lame. I’m a meat eater and even I hate this person.
Thanks for the goddamn earworm.

Irrational anger combined with a diet rich in animal fats. Enjoy your heart attack.
There is no reason anyone would ever say this to a vegan. Mostly because you can’t get a word in edgewise to tell them you are an omnivore.
