Plants don't have feelings. Scientifically proven.
Also animals.
Dog owners, anyone?
Ok, /rant
Dogs are self-emotion-driven. They will eat something they were not supposed to and you get mad at them (louder, angry tones). They cower. When you are done rambling at it, it will be fine and accept that you love it (light tones). Dogs will emotionally react to tones of voice, not respect. They will continue to do this and not care until you speak harshly to it again, then continue it's pattern. It will continue this habit without hesitation. If you take physical action to remove it away from what it wants, it will either try to get around this action or then obey, not because it realized that it's owner had to take that measure, but because it wasn't until the owner communicated in a rash way by removing the source via force, that the dog would obey. This has been tested on many domesticated species. All yielding the same answer: Animals will obey by force, not feeling. They will try to achieve something through self-ambition, not a supior's emotion or commands.
This is ludicrous. Meats are a part of the human diet. I should make a picket sign that stresses that Vegetarians are malnutritioned.
