Are Plants And Animals The Same? | Did Science Prove That Plants Feel Pain? | Veganism | Q & A

Is there proper research showing that plants feel pain? Truth is no, not a single one. However there are many articles with clickbait headlines floating about the internet claiming that plants can feel pain and suffer. Even if that were a true statement what should be the takeaway from that?
Does force impregnating, torturing and killing billions of innocent animals now become all right because "plants feel pain"?
To be logically consistent with that argument then you must also address every form of human violence and oppression with the logic that "plants feel pain". By that logic any form of action and violence in society can be justified by saying plants feel pain. The vast majority of non vegans are addicted to the "taste" and "pleasures" of meat, dairy, eggs and honey. Therefore they come with senseless rationalisations to justify their actions.
Be consistent, be Vegan.

sentience: the capacity to experience feelings or sensations, as distinguished from perceptions and cognition. The word was first coined by philosophers in the 1630’s for the concept of an ability to feel, derived from Latin “sentientem” (a feeling), in order to distinguish it from the ability to think/reason. Therefore, sentience ought not be confused with consciousness, though the two are closely related. As far as biologists can ascertain, the simplest organisms (single-celled microbes) possess an exceedingly-primitive form of sentience, since their life-cycle revolves around adjusting to their environment, metabolizing, and reproducing via binary fission, all of which indicates a sensory perception of their environment (e.g. temperature, acidity, energy sources and the presence of oxygen, nitrogen, minerals, and water). More complex organisms, such as plants, have acquired a far greater degree of sentience, since they can react to the light of the sun, to insects crawling on their leaves (in the case of carnivorous plants), excrete certain chemicals and/or emit ultrasonic waves when being cut. Perhaps the most strikingly-obvious phenomenon that demonstrates plant sentience is the way in which vines SENSE the presence of external structures, using such formations to support their stems and tendrils whilst growing. In animal life, there are up to five sensory organs that are able to detect external stimulants or percepts. ADDITIONALLY, many forms of metazoans have acquired a degree of consciousness, in which a subject-object polarity is established. Therefore, when carnists claim that “plants have feelings too” upon being confronted with vegan ideology, they may be correct (at least in a rather diffuse sense of the term “feelings”), so the most logical reason for being vegan is not because plants are completely without sentience, but simply due to the fact that humans are an herbivorous species. If Homo sapiens were naturally omnivores or carnivores, then no sane person would condone veganism. In summary, all forms of organic life are, by definition, sentient, yet TRUE consciousness is found in those animal species that have a certain level of intelligence (that is, as a general rule, vertebrates, though there are a couple of notable exceptions to this general rule). Cf. “consciousness/Consciousness” and “carnist” in this Glossary.

Just to justify you on this topic killing Animals and Plants are not same. I would take example, is cutting one person hair vs cutting one person neck is same.

Plants simply don't have brains to process such pain and in fact Arvind had a really strong argument in the beginning, but maybe he was not biologically fitted enough to continue the conversation. He was right. Neurological signals are simply a form a cellular communication. It's ridiculous to conclude from this transformation of information alone, that pain HAS to be tied to it. By this logic, you can conclude that even neurological transmissions that releases dopamine is pain simply because the neurological Transmission are happening. This is possibly the most ridiculous arguments I've ever heard and an argument that only a person who did not pass 10th grade biology would make.

​@@mrjha6085 Science has nothing to do with it. This is entirely a subjective issue based on a philosophy that is made up by humans. There is no such thing as morals and ethics in reality. The Plants and Animals are eaten alike in nature Irrespective of their capability of feeling pain and stress. They are all part of the food chain. If a person believes that they don't want to eat a conscious food source then that is their personal choice entirely based on their own beliefs. There is nothing good or bad about eating the food. Humans are omnivorous creatures and produce the enzymes to digest meat.

One argument could be made like We humans need food to survive, right. We have two options, plants and animals. One thing is for sure that animals feel pain when they are killed, and some people are saying plants also feel pain when cut. So, Veganism is all about reducing the suffering as much as we can, right. When you eat 1kg plant, you eat 1kg plant But when you eat 1kg animal, you eat approx 10 kg plants. So, if you are so considerate of plants feeling pain, then the best option is to eat plants only, there's less suffering of plants there.

While the mother doesn't want his child kidnapped(causes a lot of trauma for both the child and parents) The tree wants us to eat it's fruit proof:Plants have evolved various strategies to entice animals to eat their fruit, which helps in seed dispersal. Here are some common methods: 1. Color and Attraction: Fruits are often brightly colored to catch the attention of animals. Red, orange, and yellow are common fruit colors that stand out in natural surroundings. 2. Sweetness: Many fruits are sweet due to the presence of sugars, which appeal to animals' taste buds. 3. Aroma: Fruits emit enticing scents that animals can detect from a distance, attracting them to the source. 4. Nutrient Reward: Fruits often contain essential nutrients and vitamins that are beneficial to animals. 5. Soft Texture: The soft and fleshy texture of fruits is more appealing to animals than hard, unripe fruits. 6. Seed Protection: Some plants have evolved seeds with hard shells or pits that are indigestible for animals, ensuring the seeds are eventually dispersed away from the parent plant. 7. Symbiotic Relationships: Some plants form mutually beneficial relationships with specific animals, like birds or mammals, that become their primary seed dispersers. 8. Timing: Fruit ripening is often synchronized with the availability of animals that can disperse seeds, ensuring the fruit is eaten when the seeds are ready for dispersal. These adaptations help plants ensure their seeds are spread to new locations, increasing their chances of survival and reproduction.

I'm so disgusted by such people's claims, they are so disingenuous

[@arunmunja3206]

That girl came to this session with a closed mind. Hats off Arvind.

[@tithi214]

Respect to you sir! I mean, the way you handled it so well. kudos to you for acting sensible even at the point of having such an unnecessary argument.

[@VgnRaj]

I have seen this so many times before. People want so much to prove the correctness of their argument that they will disregard what they would do in an actual situation just to win that argument with you. You can tell by her response that she did not believe what she was arguing. She only wanted to show her correctness to Arvind.

[@jameslim7260]

keep it up bro Arvind. you are great man. i would say it is plain silly to compare plants and animals that they are feeling the same level of pain..

[@shakthirajbillava2525]

Great Arvind Sir

[@bushrasharafuddheen9836]

Dear Aravind, you have missed following 7 important points : Qn1) "What is the purpose behind an apple tree growing apples?" An) "The purpose behind an apple tree growing apples is related to the tree's reproductive process. Apples are the fruit of the apple tree, and they contain seeds. The tree produces apples as a means of dispersing its seeds and ensuring the survival and propagation of the species. When apples ripen, they entice animals or humans to eat them, and the seeds are subsequently spread through the digestive system or by other means. If the conditions are favorable, the seeds can germinate and grow into new apple trees, continuing the life cycle of the species. So, the purpose behind apple tree growing apples is ultimately for reproduction and the continuation of the apple tree lineage". Qn 2) "Which of the following human activity is considered as specism : repeated selective hybridization for high yielding varieties of crops or repeated artificial insemination of cows to produce milk in diary industry and slaughtering cows once they no longer produce milk"? An) "The activity that could be considered as speciesism in the given options is the slaughtering of the same cow once it no longer produces milk in the dairy industry. Speciesism involves treating one species as superior or more important than others and often results in the exploitation or mistreatment of certain species. In this case, the cow is being treated as a mere commodity, valued solely for its ability to produce milk, and is ultimately disposed of when it no longer serves that purpose. This practice reflects a discriminatory view that disregards the inherent value and welfare of the cow as an individual. Repeated selective hybridization for high-yielding varieties of crops is not considered speciesism. Speciesism typically refers to the unjustified discrimination or mistreatment of animals based on their species. In the context of crop hybridization, it involves the controlled breeding of plants with desirable traits to improve crop yields, disease resistance, or other beneficial characteristics. This process is focused on manipulating plant genetics rather than mistreating or discriminating against animals". Qn3) Do 'Arabidopis Thaliana' feel pain? An) "Arabidopsis thaliana has various types of receptors that enable it to perceive and respond to different environmental cues. However, it's important to note that plants do not possess a central nervous system or a brain, so the concept of pain as experienced by animals is not applicable to them. Plants have specialized receptors that allow them to sense and respond to stimuli such as light, gravity, temperature, touch, and chemicals. For example, photoreceptors enable plants to detect light and regulate their growth and development accordingly. Similarly, receptors in the root system help plants respond to gravity and grow in the appropriate direction. While plants can detect and respond to stimuli, their responses are typically biochemical and physiological rather than conscious experiences of pain or discomfort. They have evolved intricate signaling pathways to perceive and react to their environment, but these responses are not akin to the sensation of pain experienced by animals". Qn 4) "What is specism?". "Is human beings harvesting rice from a rice plant for consumption regarded as specism?" An) "Speciesism refers to the discrimination or unjust treatment of individuals based on their species. It involves considering one species, typically humans, as superior or more valuable than other species, and using this belief to justify differential treatment or exploitation of non-human animals. Harvesting rice from a rice plant for consumption does not fall under the definition of speciesism. Speciesism typically pertains to the mistreatment or exploitation of sentient beings, particularly animals, based on their species. Rice plants are not sentient or conscious beings; they lack the capacity for subjective experiences or the ability to feel pain or suffering. Therefore, harvesting rice for consumption is not considered speciesist, as it does not involve the unjust treatment or discrimination against sentient beings". Qn5) "do apple tree feel pain if we pluck apples from apple tree"? An) "No, apple trees do not feel pain when we pluck apples from them. Pain is a complex sensation that requires a nervous system and specialized receptors to perceive and process. As plants, apple trees lack a central nervous system and the necessary structures to experience pain. While they can respond to external stimuli through various mechanisms, such as growth responses or chemical signaling, their responses are not indicative of pain or conscious awareness. So, plucking apples from an apple tree does not cause pain to the tree itself". Qn6) "what is the purpose behind a rice plant growing rice?" An) "The purpose behind a rice plant growing rice is related to its reproductive process. Rice grains are the seeds of the rice plant, and their purpose is to ensure the survival and propagation of the species. When rice plants produce grains, they are essentially producing a vessel that contains the plant's genetic material, allowing it to be dispersed and germinate into new rice plants under favorable conditions. The production of rice grains is part of the plant's reproductive strategy to ensure the continuation of its lineage. Animals like birds can play a role in the reproduction of rice plants. Birds contribute to seed dispersal. After rice plants have produced mature grains, birds can consume the seeds and then excrete them in different locations. This dispersal mechanism helps in the colonization of new areas and the expansion of rice plant populations. Qn7) "do a rice plant feel pain when we harvest rice as compaired to a cow butchered for meat?" An) "Plants do not have a central nervous system or a brain, which are necessary for experiencing pain in the same way that animals do. While plants can respond to stimuli such as light, water, and touch, their responses are not indicative of the conscious experience of pain. On the other hand, animals, including cows, have complex nervous systems and can experience pain and suffering. Harvesting rice involves the collection of mature grains from the plant, which does not cause pain or suffering to the plant itself". Please include these points next time you encounter "plucking an apple is same as slaughtering a animal" scenario. I really appreciate you work. You are great. Warm Regards Midhlaj

[@CheriLay]

maan, those carnists sound so crazy, do they even hear themselves

[@vijayjayaraman5990]

Another scenario - the girl is driving and dog suddenly comes in the way. She has a split second to decide whether to hit the dog or to swerve and run over a bunch of bushes or small trees, and save herself and the dog, what was she do?

[@beyondtheendfilms5602]

I want to add my own experience here. During my childhood, I used to visit my grandparent's place and they have 3 big guava trees. One day I notice a fully ripe guava falling below the tree because no one pluck it from the tree. then, I understand that it's a necessity to consume it either by animals or humans otherwise fruit will be dropped by the tree itself. Fruit contains seeds and if we sow seeds near a tree, it will not grow much. But when a human or animals eat a tree, they spread the seeds which help to spread and sustain that plant and tree species. when you pluck an apple, the tree continues to grow and produce more fruits which tell us that plucking a fruit will not kill a tree. it's like if someone takes away our grown hair, it will not cause us pain and the sign is that our hair will be grown back after some time and its only possible when the source is still alive.

[@dhivyaalathadamu169]

It's very kind of you, the way you tried to explain and make her understand. Great.

[@VeganSemihCyprus33]

Perfect response Arvind, you are a hero, keep it up!

[@shomahasnin1313]

You really really deserve a noble prize!

[@user-ed7pu5uj3q]

Beautiful video, Arvind! And you were right to shut down the discussion at the time and for the reasons that you did.

[@actionpotential9455]

I love how good he can speak. Rhetorically he is great and that's important to share a message this important.

[@bbhmm5714]

Veganism is all about choosing something to eat for survival which is least harmful or minimally harmful. So eating plants is less cruel than eating animals.

[@harshitverma4374]

The girl is being ignorant from heart she know Aravind is right but she doesn't want to lose the debate.

[@MassMultiplayer]

this is so good i made a reaction video about every reply you did, i gave you credit, your chanel deserve more views hehe

[@nanscoorg]

I've been seeing your videos a lot and I'm trying to allign myself in the path, it's so sad to see lot of students with false ego or they simply don't want to accept reality and be open about it to make world better, rather they stick on to their ignorance

[@Debangshu.Chanda]

I am totally flabbergasted by the way the girl replied 😅

[@youthphilosophy]

when people dont want themself to be proven wrong they go in defense mode , and then they say illlogical things .

[@paaone]

Wow! I loved how you ended the conversation. I really hope I have the same level of calmness as you one day.

[@govegantoday6459]

It is absolutely clear that killing and eating animals just for the sake of taste is not justified in any way. By raising such ridiculous questions you just want to divert the issue. Thanks Arvind, keep it up. ❤🙏

[@eternalreality4346]

The girl is a dishonest person and a big liar. She isn't fighting for what's happening right in front of her eyes and she doesn't want to talk about that, instead she is busy using illogical and dishonest arguments. People just want to justify wrong and for that they'll do anything that comes to their ignorant minds. Thank you so much Arvind for showing your patience. 🙏🙏

[@manishvishnoi227]

I am vegan for almost 1 and half year. I was asked the same question, my simple answer was it's not about plant,animal or human feeling pain, it's always about what I feel. I feel pain when animal cry or die bacause they can show it not plant. I need science instruments to detec their pain that I can't do.

[@that.taurus.beauty]

Its funny how All of a sudden ppl have started to care about stimulis in plants as soon as animal suffering and veganism is brought to light.

[@mithilbhoras5951]

I love how non vegans suddenly love plants. But have no issues when the animals they eat have to be fed tons of plants in order for them to fatten.

[@adarshabhishek]

Arvind sir Please ask her that if she and her family somehow stuck into a situation where there is no food (animals) to eat and there is only apple tree or any fruit , vegetables plants then will she pluck an Apple to eat or will she eat her family?

[@YashRaj-dj4rr]

How are they that stupid to ask such silly qns?? That's common sense ... More power to you arvind 💗

[@TheCleverDog-woof-woof]

The final reasoning could have been that some plants completely rely on the fact that their seeds need to be carried away from the mother plant to another place (through fruit consumption)for the continuation of the tree. Same cannot be said for animals. This design of nature solves the dilemma between kidnapping a child and plucking an apple.

[@entropy7571]

If I were in your position, I'd struggle to keep my calm. Kudos to you!

[@prithwisbiswas6239]

knock knock " I am the kidnapper " where is my apple 😇

[@SmartphonePedia]

May God save world from this woman...

[@akkibhal2007]

May god save 'animals' from her actually

[@Geeta_Karthik]

Plants do not nerveous system that’s why they are made stagnant and cannot move like Animals. Locomotion is given to animals by nature so that they can move and run if they feel pain or fear.

[@KV_55555]

She didn't want to turn back on her statement. Period.

[@Premanandmestry01]

Amazing patience you have arvind, if i would have been there my anger would be burst out

[@MukulVyas5]

Such carnists will die on the hill to not lose an argument and in the process prove that they're dishonest, disingenuous and apathetic. People who disrespect animals by comparing them to plants and say that killing plants, animals and humans is the same, should ask themselves whether they'll be okay if someone kidnaps their parents/partners/children/friends, abuses and molests them, murders them, and finally chops up their body parts and eats them. I can't believe being a female and learning about artificial insemination - which is the brutal sexual abuse of animals, she had the courage, shamelessness and the audacity to compare it with bananas. Damn! She should be ashamed of herself. These kind of people are the scum of the earth.

[@satyaharish7805]

Absolutely

[@govinddangi4778]

The biggest blunder we face to convince is those who are arrogant and dishonest just to prove their point.

[@ajitkumar210]

You ended the conversation in a right way at right point of time giving the valid reasons, thats what food does to us n we change as human when we switch to vegan (or we become more human than ever, no offence to others, just reminding the saying “Jaisa ann vaisa mann” which means “You are what you eat” . And also We vegans dont believe in insisting things, we merely try educate on things just to minimise the suffering if not end it forever. God bless you Aravind🙌🏻 Hoping to meet you one day, join ur squad n discuss amazing things n exchange knowledge… Love n support from Telangana 😊

[@mun8231]

the girl is totally mad...

[@saianirudh998]

@ 8:13 she said plucking an apple and kidnapping a human child is not the same. Later, she changed her statement and said they are the same. People behind are laughing at this girl

[@beyondtheendfilms5602]

Even if you want to save plants, you should eat plants because you can't save survive without eating and if you eat meat, you need to feed 10-20 kgs of plants to that animal to generate 1 kg of meat. So, in that way also, you should be a vegan. 70-80% of agriculture is to feed animals that are eventually consumed by humans. So its better to be vegan because it will help us reduce cruelty against animals as well as save our planet too.

[@AlokKumar-je9hd]

Excellent Arvind. You are always great in your explanation and logic. Keep up the good work.

[@ananthucprabhu5933]

nothing logic..everything is illogical..self made principles and theories

[@varunganesh4425]

Wait for the climax! 😅🔥 be honest 😎 Go vegan 💚

[@CEarthling]

My Respect for Prophet Muhammad increased. She is one of those half minded.

[@rakrak445]

Nailed , joker Nayak 1/4 minded

[@satyamkumar4367]

I think this girl needs to start her own protest 🪧 " Don't kidnap apples. " 😂 Simply when she found out that Arvind has all fair points so she like other non vegans zombies went towards illogical points that could justify her bloody taste

[@malakumar2893]

that lady doesn't care about anything,but win the argument.

[@nikunjkrishnarayal]

It's not about our perception. Arvind sir is absolutely right. "That's us being selfish".
