| You should have titled this thread "plant rights"... haha
Anyway, I don't think the difference between a plant and an ant is so much different than the difference between an ant and a cat... so where do you draw the line? Is it because plants are not conscious? We need someone who is against killing animals (animals- insects, fish, clams, dogs etc.) in here. For my own personal feelings, my judgement of an animal's ability to suffer greatly affects my comfort with killing them. However, the only animal I won't eat is a dog or a cat because of my personal affection for them, but I wouldn't try to stop someone else from eating them. |
