    Didn't you notice they complicated and elaborate way each dog reacts to simple street odours?Here we go-they and all animals are much more sensitive to things we humans fail to notice at all.And if a human sees its end is near?Don't worry,plants would feel it too and suffer much more than we do!

    Some of us vegans accept that plants may be conscious.  It still makes sense to eat the lowest tropic level because that minimises the number of organisms who have to die.

    Vegans don't. Scientists and researchers do those sort of studies. Lay people don't care that the plants or animals they eat, are stressed at any point, before or after harvest. Most western humans, don't give a thought about how things appear on their plates, unless they see a hair in the food.

    I love how the anonymous a$$holes have all the answers but need to hide behind a 'no-name' label because they don't have blls enough to say who they are when they put someone down for their life choices. To answer your question, I have heard that plants get stressed, but I won't vouch for the validity of the information. As for Mr. Anonymous, eating meat and meat products was literally KILLING me. If I didn't change to a plant based diet it would have had serious repercussions for my health. So how about you get back in your lane and keep flipping your burgers at your dead-end, no-pay job and let real people get on with their lives?

    They don't you'd need (I guess) a botanist or some kind of scientist at least.

    Plants can't suffer from “stress” as we know it because they have no nervou system or consciousness.

    They don't. They just pluck it and eat it.
