Are you suggesting that I couldn't possibly feel for a plant the way you feel for an animal? Or that it would be ridiculous for someone to sympathetic toward vegitation?
((((((shaking my head))))))
would you like me to send you a video? (sarcasm)
if you want to believe killing plants is pain free, it is your prerogative.
We compartmentalize many things to proceed with certain activities. I could do the deed, no problem. I think there are many people that have a hard time understanding my viewpoint because animals have biology similar to their own and their own biases can only equate similar likenesses.
If someone looks out at the world and sees killing or eating animals is wrong, then they see a world that is wrong. It does not need to be seen so.
My children had oppurtunity over the wknd to feed a deer by hand. The deer was raised as a baby, is 5 years old, lives in the wild, and returns every night to eat. The homeowners love this deer. These are the same people that stock my freezer with venison every year. People have been loving animals and slaughtering them since this earth began. So why isn't this earth going to be a 4D Negative planet if it is so 'full of slaughter'?
The plant has feelings just as much as an animal. Just because it's biology doesn't represent these feelings in a way we can relate to, doesn't mean they don't exist. Each of us does what we feel needs to be done to survive.
Yes, I do feel the same towards a plant as I do an animal. This is me. I am real. I am. I kill both and I eat both, and afterwards, my duty is to forgive myself. If I can't forgive myself..... I can't forgive anyone.
Another important question I have for you, Monica.
Do you equate my association between killing animal and plant with the idea that my feelings for animals are lessened to your feelings for vegetation, or that my feelings for vegetation are hightened to you feelings for animals?
