The "plants feel pain" take pisses me off the most. The scorched-earth argument really goes places: "if plants feel pain, then any amount of pain inflicted is now okay!"
Worse only was the claim that animals don't have emotions like we do because they lack speech. Somehow communication is a necesary requirement for experiencing emotion?
The most ableist shit ever...
are the animals that totally have no way of communicating any of their thoughts or attitudes in this room with us right now
