I mean disagree all you want but biologically speaking plants are life. And also biologically speaking a lot of plants have some form of “pain” reflex where they can react to damage. However that argument being a stretch is also true. It does work in some circumstances, mostly when you have a militant vegan insisting all life should be protected and no life should be ended for food (has happened to me once so by no means is this a likely event but it shows that the argument does work on very rare occasions)
On a slightly related note: from a genetic perspective fungi (as in mushrooms) are a lot closer to animals than they are to “other” plants. Not trying to use it as an argument or anything just a fun tidbit of trivia while we are on the topic.
i have empathy. cows giving birth and producing milk isn’t abuse.
Makes sense you are a pro lifer
i’m a what?
A person who thinks it’s okay to force pregnancy and birth onto other life forms. In the US we call these assholes “republicans”
everyone thinks that’s ok: how could we have beer, bread, fruits, or veggies without it? that’s not a republican, it’s just a human.
Ah yes the “well plants are alive too!” Argument that never worked before and still doesn’t
when you set the standard, and i meet it, then you change the standard, that’s called “moving the goalposts.”

Write all the bullshit you want, plants aren’t animals and you’re a moron for insinuating otherwise
ok point me to where I wrote “plants are animals”
I wrote “plants are life” and if you disagree with that I’m sorry but you’re delusional.
In case it relates to the mushroom tidbit: mushrooms also aren’t animals. They’re just closer to animals than plants but in the end they are fungi.
