I mean disagree all you want but biologically speaking plants are life. And also biologically speaking a lot of plants have some form of “pain” reflex where they can react to damage. However that argument being a stretch is also true. It does work in some circumstances, mostly when you have a militant vegan insisting all life should be protected and no life should be ended for food (has happened to me once so by no means is this a likely event but it shows that the argument does work on very rare occasions)
On a slightly related note: from a genetic perspective fungi (as in mushrooms) are a lot closer to animals than they are to “other” plants. Not trying to use it as an argument or anything just a fun tidbit of trivia while we are on the topic.
Ah yes the “well plants are alive too!” Argument that never worked before and still doesn’t
when you set the standard, and i meet it, then you change the standard, that’s called “moving the goalposts.”

Write all the bullshit you want, plants aren’t animals and you’re a moron for insinuating otherwise
ok point me to where I wrote “plants are animals”
I wrote “plants are life” and if you disagree with that I’m sorry but you’re delusional.
In case it relates to the mushroom tidbit: mushrooms also aren’t animals. They’re just closer to animals than plants but in the end they are fungi.
