Unveiling Plant Perception: Do They Actually Feel Pain?

Hello my beautiful learners!
This is the first educational video I've made specifically for KZbin. I am a one-woman show, meaning I research, script, film and edit all my videos. I want to be more consistent and aim for 1 video per week.
Thank you to the 167 of you that have subscribed so far, I can't wait to grow our little community :)

brb sending this to the people who always sassily told me that plants felt pain too bc i’m a vegetarian

[@DoloresLehmann]

Do plants feel pain? I really want the answer to this question to be "no". I really do. But you're also just repeating the very anthropocentric view of: "If it doesn't work the same way as it does in us, it can't exist." So, the answer to the question constinues to be: "We just don't know."

[@learnwithmenka]

I never said "it can't exist". The answer is that plants do not experience pain in the way that we've defined it.

@@learnwithmenka OK. That's really a good way to put it.

Releasing chemicals that attract predators of offending organisms is delightfully devious.
