: Same old tired argument. Plants do not feel the pain that animals feel. It's been talked about so often on this board, and yet time and again one is forced into discussions of central nervous systems and the capacity to think and feel and suffer, and minimizing any suffering one might cause by limiting one's killing to plants, but in the end, I don't believe for one second that you think plunging a knife into a cabbage causes the same amount of pain and fear as plunging a knife into a cow.

Yes it is the same old argument. However hunting is not plunging a knife into a cow, even on factory lines i am almost certain that cows are killed instantly(because people just wouldn't allow it to happen any other way)In hunting animals are killed instantly almost always. So your argument about the central nervous system and all that stuff means nothing.
