Why do vegetarians kill living plant matter so casually?!
Answers: they take the destruction of a life so lightly it makes me sick. you sickos.
lol, i d k if your kindding but it sounds like it
and i thought it was kind of funny
I know!!! Good question!
plants dont have a nervous system and thus dont feel any pain. they dont hurt animals so that they wont cause them any pain or suffering, but they kill plants because plants cant feel pain, and thus dont suffer.
That's the lamest question I have ever heard.
You know you're just being a smart***
i know plants have feelings too
Thats soooo silly. Plants dont have conciousness or pain receptors so its not the same as killing animals. & btw omnivores kill just as much "plant matter" as vegetarians + they kill animals which feel pain.
And I hate to tell u "we" (vegetarians/vegans) have to eat something... we aren't plants we cant just go outside and photosynthasise.
Think B4 u ask.
Um... to eat dude... its yuuuuummmy.
Anyways glad I make you sick! :-)
Yep, we're herbicidal maniacs ! lock us up!
Why not ask why I'm sitting on a leather sofa while you're at it :)
You don't have to think.
It is your freedom to be a f*cking moron.
Have fun with it.
Just don't expect people to tolerate children like yourself.
Ok lets really look at this - humans have to eat and a plant based diet can keep a human being alive very well. However there is a big difference boiling a cabbage then gutting and slitting the throat of a pig OK!
Further there is a big difference in picking beans, peas, cauliflower, aubergine ( that is egg plant for people like you who might n ot know) soy bean etc then beheading a chicken.
So why dont you do something more productive (like your homework and stop bothering people!!
Dear Troll
I would never dream of trying to convince you “that plants can’t feel".
If you take into consideration that everyone and everything (human, animal, mineral and spiritual entities) on this planet are connected in a universal energy consciousness way…………then of course, plants can feel.
The main difference being between human, animal, mineral and spiritual entities is…………….human and animal entities can and will express their anguish, pain, suffering and misery.
Where as, mineral and spiritual entities (plants coming under the mineral context) cannot physically express their anguish, pain, suffering and misery.
Also when plants are eaten (for a short time) they still retain their vibrant energetic energy and so in turn, give you good health.
When animals are eaten, they are dead, and they transit their fear into your body.
As the saying goes…..cholesterol is the animal’s revenge from the grave.
I sincerely hope this explanation puts your small mind at ease.

Maybe due to the fact plants do not have a nervous system (central nervous system). Everything on earth is living, I rather kill livings things that don't have (or normally would have) a nervous system, that can't feel pain and spread emotion; such as plants, germs, etc versus humans or animals to live. And a lot of vegetarians rather as well.
What is sick is the people who kill and contribute (buy, eat, etc) livings things with a nervous system, that can feel pain and spread emotion such as animals and humans..THEY are the sickos. They don't do it for necessity, but for pleasure and greed.
Billions of animals are killed in horribly ways (they have a nervous system, and can feel pain, I know you couldn't handle one second of what they go through, you would die in shock, as many do) all over the world. Billions of humans are killed in horribly ways (yes, they have a nervous system, and can feel pain). Then there are the ones who aren't killed but still die horribly deaths due to disease, horribly freak accidents, car accidents (mainly caused by drunk diving, talking on cell phone, & speeding), famine, hunger, starvation (due to the lack of food considering most food, water, & land goes to raise cattle, imagine if that where cut back?)
But do people care? No they sit around and find news ways to destruct the world and who are completely desensitized and brainwashed in their brains, and being coldy apathetic and unempathetic to all the hate, abuse, and pain by making a question about killing plants like they have a nervous system and like they can feel pain, like they have a family, like you can see them smile, like you can hear them cry or scream
At least some people do care, what are those people called? Veg*ans.
It actually isn't casual. Some people are very concerned with preserving all life.
Vegetarians must eat to survive, just like people who eat omnivorously. Eating plant parts is less violent and tends to make fewer demands of the earth.
Then the only thingy you could eat is those naturally died. If the lion could rationalize, she will go for prey that big enough and dead naturally. By this mean, animals could be propagated themselves and large enough to be fed to all jungle predators...a win-win situation for all. Nevertheless but sensible, most carnivorous lion and omnivorous bear go for only "fresh" hunting. In this context they hold higher pride that the man...man go for only carcases.
Vegetarianism never stops at eating habit alone, but is a continuous "journey" beyond. U'll eventually realize that is a... "PHYSICAL-EMOTIONAL-MIND" progress. Diet influences the state of mind, and the state of mind influences the diet choice, there into Self Realization (Modus Operandi). Food evolution only begins if a "single-step" is initiated by you. Paleolithic Diet, Omnivorous Lacto-Ovo-Pesco-etc, Vegetarianism, Veganism, Raw Veganism, Crudivorism (Fruitorian), Macrobiotism and finally Breatharian. You'll find that the above diet evolves from the… Physical state (survival, ritual, health, instincto), then into Emotional intelligence (EQ) , and finally Intellectual state (Merging with the Primordial Consciousness in the Abode of the Creation).
*** FRUITORIAN : Don't eat anything that is killed to become food - It may be possible to live without eating any dead things, including plants. Eating things such as nuts, fruits, and many vegetables does not directly cause any deaths. Personally, I see this as a somewhat unreasonable standard both because it sounds nutritionally near-impossible and because just taking a shower causes the deaths of countless microorganisms. I don't think it's reasonable to expect to be a human being and not cause some other things to die... I only look to minimize it. However, if you think you can live a Fruitarian life, more power to you.
Genesis 1:29 : G-d said, "See, I give you every seed-bearing plant that is upon all the earth, and every tree that has seed-bearing fruit; they shall be yours for food.
In all of the above definitions, understand that not eating something also refers to not using it. Non-cannibals generally don't use human skin for ornamentation, and vegetarians generally avoid leather.
Or at least, it is reasonable to assume that people who are willing to consider the moral consequences of killing animals are more likely to restrain from violence against other human beings if at all possible. If you claim that even the plants possess live, that is true (and only those vegetarians or vegans credible to follow you… A continuous journey beyond!).
Conclusion – Vegetarianism or veganism never stop at eating habit alone, but is a continuous “journey” beyond - Philosophy and way of life.
Probably for the same reason why omnis kill their food so casually... Except plants don't scream or writhe in pain...I think you already have an answer that you want to hear so it would be quite pointless to argue with you one way or another.
Either that or it's "Let's learn about the Internet" time at the mental institution..
Prozac not working it's usual magic today huh?
PS You can't convince me you're not on drugs or in therapy...
If you are comparing the consciousness of a pig to that of a piece of celery, then there is seriously something wrong with you.
And why would it make you sick?
What do you think the slain animals that YOU eat survive on?
Living plant matter.
I can't prove that plants can't feel but it doesn't mean they can feel. I am going to assume you eat meat and I believe "you carnivorous slaughterers" do not care for animals. At least we care about the ecosystem, the rain forest, and the fact that the production of your food is destroying the earth.
You're uneducated, please go back to school and then come back and ask a more intelligent question.
Plants lack a central nervous system. Want proof? Look it up. They can't feel anything. Scientists have proved that plants don't even really know they are alive.
DONT EVEN TRY to compare this to animal slaugher.
And you're a sicko, for being so unintelligent lol
people have to eat..the plants can keep growing if you cut some of it off..but if you cut off a cows foot it would bleed to death without proper medical care...and fruits are actrually meant to be eaten...plants make fruit to spread their seeds and they encourage animals to eat them..and plants growing in gardens have olenty of sun and water and fertilizer so if they had feelings they would be happy..but animals are crowded in dark filty cages
This is so obvious!
If I had to eat meat to suvive, I would.
And do you know what would happen if I didn't eat plants? I'd die!
I'm against killing WITHOUT a reason. If someone's charging at me with a knife and is about to slice my head off, and I had a gun, I'd shoot him!
And also, plant's do have a different kind of conciousness than animals, though even if they didn't, I'd still eat them to live. It's just how nature works: Kill rather than be killed, but don't kill with no reason.
By the way, do you know why fruits are so colorful? They want to be noticed and eaten! It's because that's how they spread their seeds.
We don't have to prove it because science already did. You need a brain to process the sensation we call pain. Plants (and some animals) don't have a brain/processor so they don't feel pain. They react chemically and electrically to stimuli.
So to answer your stellar, high quality question, they casually kill plants because there is no suffering involved.
