Haven't been here in a while. I'll just leave this here. Not exactly an animal concern, but...

Over a year, and we get inundated with vegans who have that disgusting holier than thou attitude all the time, saying they don't want to kill anything, yet most eat plants with no concern for the plant life or feelings. They think that all they have to do to be green is be vegan, instead of getting off their dead asses and building Earthship greenhouses with the love and understanding of soil and plant life. They tend to have too many kids quite often and excusing it with being vegan is less impact. Sure a little, but not 50%. Then one kid ruins the footprint.

And they can communicate with other plants too!
As for the whole "this discredits veganism" argument, not sure it holds up... Plants still don't have a central nervous system that can sense "pain" in the same way a pig or cow does. If your goal is to reduce suffering then eating plants is still your best bet.

Oh please. The world leaves nothing but make cruel things...

The main thing is that each choice should be respected. Whether a person is a vegan, or they eat meat, plants, whatever. I witnessed a situation when a guy was condemned about eating some chicken or fish, and it was too loud, too vulgar, and just too much in respect of how a person can treat another human being.

"Beyond that, the great spiritual traditions have been telling us for quite some time “as above, so below,” which researchers and quantum physicists are increasingly finding to be true. From that perspective, insects most definitely have feelings and emotional intelligence—as well as plants, animals and everything in between. Either way, one thing is for sure, insects, with feelings or not, are integral to all life on this planet and deserve our care and respect just like any other sentient being."

Well, if you happen to be a cannibal, there could be problems....
