Well, I live in Australia, so I'm not even close to the top of the food chain!  XD


And I eat blackpudding, so yeah...


But the point with the feeling pain is that they do react to injury and while they can't "run away" they emit chemicals intended to drive away predators or even attract other creatures which eat the attackers.


So yeah, the idea doesn't change my habits, I still mow the lawn even if it's excruciating, but I can't in all intellectual honesty just discount the idea of pain or awareness in plants.  The arguments are all too like the same ones historically trotted out about animals.

Go ahead... Sgt. Heartman would really appreciate that!

But, you realise there's carnivourous plants eating sheep? Soo, ye might wanna be a 'lil carefull not to evoke any feelings of vengeance...
Eh, I'd rather risk my life with a sheep eating plant than going against Gordon Ramsay honestly!  XD

Nope, I'm a woof.


 *Pokédex narrator voice*
Woof. Woof Woof.

On their home planet/world/whereverthehecktheyarefrom, woofs are omnivorous, but they tend to stick to mostly eating tree sap and fruits.
It's kinda weird really. Even woofs who have never been where all the other woofs are seem to be attracted to sweet and/or caffeinated liquids.
So I'm assuming it's safe to assume the tree sap is sweet and rich in caffeine and nutrients. And probably kinda addictive too.
As once fall rolls around, woofs grow increasingly aggressive due to the lack of sap, and as a result small animals and insects start falling prey to hungry woofs.
Then there's also a mass-migration to areas where it's possible to find sap.
Woofs who for some reason or another can't do that eventually start showing signs of withdrawal, like drowsiness and lack of interest in anything, followed by a strong desire to hibernate.

Also, I love the smell of freshly-cut grass.
I confess that I am a horrible creature who delight in the suffering of innocent grass.

I still don't really believe that plants feel pain or are sentient...

I mean, they don't have any sensory organs, and stuff like that, and no way to express their emotions. Or rather, noone to listen to them, besides other plants who cant really do anything with that info...

But, as much as I'd love to keep going at this, I kinda have to leave for a bit...

I don't think he has a son...

He wouldn't survive showing his dad he's done his homework...
