How will we ever know for sure if plants have their own form of consciousness that doesn't follow a list of requirements that's based on animals, or can feel pain.

Yeah, plants aren't stationary. All plants move, just very, very slowly compared to animals. Looking at time lapse videos of vines growing, reaching out for something to grab on to and stuff is pretty neat. They kind of whip around in circles until they feel they've hit something worth grabbing onto.

Maybe tumbleweeds? I think..

Wait I thought you had 7 geese.

[–] strawberrysocial@lemmy.world 1 points 2 weeks ago (7 children)

Are geese good animals to have?

Simplest answer is: if you are a vegan, do not own a cat. They are obligate carnivores. There is no healthy and humane way around the fact they need to process meat to be healthy. Don't own a cat if you are vegan and don't want to feed your pet other animals. If you don't want to rehome your cat, you will need to live with the fact that you will need to sacrifice another living mammal in order to feed your pet.

Owning a pet while vegan is already kind of hypocritical..

You were acting like the problem was eating meat, I was simply pointing out that wouldn't stop us getting sick from the food we eat.

I mean, people suffer and die from getting sick from eating produce, or from wheat or rice. I'm sure other non-animal foods too. Wasn't there deaths recently from eating cantaloupe.. and we get salmonella from wheat products.. and rice has that bacteria or something that can make you sick even if you cook it properly... There's no escaping food making us sick, even if we all went vegan.
