What I don't get about vegetarians, that eat plants for the sake of animal welfare - what about plant welfare? We understand next to nothing about plants, and based on the lack of knowledge, we've come to decide, that it's better to kill plants, because they are less relatable?

Have you ever heard a plant scream when they are ripped out of the ground?
Apparently grass "knows" from nearby grass, when it's about to be cut.
I don’t for a minute doubt that!
I mean, when I compare an animal to a plan, the primary difference is that the plant "moves" much slower; My little bird without water, or in the cold, will face problems sooner than the tree that's growing beside him - but either would die, without attention.
If the plant is communicating, I simply can't hear or see it; But plants constantly change their "aura" depending on time of day, or the condition their in.
That's powerful stuff.
Mostly unexplored it seems.
Scientists have stated that they can hear/feel the vibrations of a plant when it is pulled out of its natural environment.
All living things can feel enjoyment and pain, and it is expressed as you stated in their being. 💜
Plants lack nociceptors and neural pathways, which in animals function as the physiological basis for pain perception and response mechanisms. Animals, similar to humans, possess these neural circuits, enabling them to experience and react to pain.
‘For years, scientists are baffled by the question of whether plants can feel pain or not. A team of scientists from Tel Aviv University may have the answer to that question, as they discovered that some plants can emit a high-frequency distress sound when in environmental stress. …’
now that can be experienced by the plant as pain but it could also be excitement... who knows .. it might be happy that it can grow new shoots whatever..
plants wont tell you..
animals will..
Exactly, who knows 🤔
Thanks for sharing this; It's so fascinating:
> alert the surrounding plants to potential dangers, or attract helpful insects to perform needed services
Can you imagine? Wow!
They can literally teach us something.
We can't even get along with our human-neighbors...
