Maybe not, but we don’t know for sure

We do not know if plants are capable of subjective sensation. There is no scientific proof that plants feel pain. But it is also quite clear that we cannot simply rule this out. There is circumstantial evidence for this, although not a complete chain of evidence.

And to be clear, I’m a shitty human because I eat meat. I’m not arguing for my lifestyle. Just having a related conversation.

We are as sure of plants not feeling pain as we are of rocks not feeling pain.
