In Reply to: Do plants feel pain? A long, long answer. posted by MDG on December 01, 1999 at 16:49:45:


: The absurdity (and often disingenuity) of the plant-pain promoters can be easily exposed by asking them the following two questions:
: 1) Do you agree that animals like dogs and cats should receive
: pain-killing drugs prior to surgery?
: 2) Do you believe that plants should receive pain-killing drugs
: prior to pruning?
1) Yes to ease their "pain" Quotes because you can't really be sure if they feel pain either.
2)No because the painkillers we use to ease our pian would kill a plant.

That was a very good explination on how plants can't feel pain, but you can't know for sure because you can't ask a plant. Also you don't know if an animal is just reacting to stimuli and not feeling pain. Yes they have a brian but you just can't know.

Anyways it doesn't mean anything because the pain inflicteed on an animal during hunting is usualy minimal and it is just a part of nature. Huters (humans) kill and eat their prey(anything-including humans in cases of life or death like the movie alive which was based on a true story). That is nature.
