[QUOTE="Canada, post: 198043, member: 20367"] Ok, so a plant receives an electrical signal when injured. Does it do this for self-preservation? Does it "feel" it? This implies that plants have consciousness. I hardly see how this justifies eating meat or these issues I've posted about here: [url]http://www.sikhphilosophy.net/controversies/38652-told-dad-meat-not-forbidden-he-14.html#post198042[/url] So basically you're saying because there are electrical signals in plants, that they may or may not interpret as pain - since they don't have nerve cells, a brain, and may or may not have a mind/consciousness. But that makes it OK to kill an animal who clearly does have a brain, mind and consciousness.. that will scream in pain and look you in the eye? Give me a break. A dead animal's body will jolt around if you shock it with electricity. Does it feel the pain then? Really, I'm not very shocked by these experiments; clearly every living thing has an electromagnetic field and uses pulses to communicate among its parts and cells.. this does not imply the capacity to feel pain, suffering, emotions, or anything at all. Part of my last point on the subject in the thread I've linked above is the use of GMO plants and pesticides/insecticides and fungicides. We are genetically modifying the plant, spraying it with chemicals and poisoning ourselves in the process. Does the plant feel pain from all that? Does it cry out and ask us to stop? Well, perhaps it does; by giving us cancer? Who knows? The point is; if I were in front of a cow, pig, or cat for that matter! (what's the difference really? right? you can't put a cat above the others if plants can't even be safe to eat).. and I had to kill it, or eat a plant... well, the animals would beg me to stop hurting them, they would weep and attack me back. There would then be blood everywhere and it would reek of death. If I eat the plant, nothing happens; at most, some interruption in an electromagnetic field. So, about the equivalent of getting a text message on a cell phone. Does your phone feel pain? How about the dead animals and plants that are in the oil, that go into the plastic to make your phone? Do they feel pain too? These questions are all so inane and pointless; as Guru Nanak Ji has said. Nature has provided us with these plants for a reason - we need to eat. Animals are not here to be abused and enslaved. There are people who do this who do not even eat the animals, it's not a question of diet; it's ethical. Ever been to a zoo? Do the animals look happy? Can they feel emotion? Obviously. Do plants in a conservation area look sad? Sigh. [/QUOTE]
