This poor apple man! THIS IS PURE HUMILIATION!
and take that sticker off!!!
ur dumb i kill vegies alll the time just for my enjoyment!!!
i am sure that is not mould- i think they are the last seeping tears expressed by the potato before its sad, sad demise.
my thoughts are with you.
You guys are lame. What do you eat if you don’t eat veggies?
you seem not to care about the cotton or the wood used in making your products for your store. i also noticed that you have no problem accepting money for these goods. so i guess that makes you a murder for hire. is a plant not as important as the almighty dollar?
No you’re lame! ha ha
Oh my! When can we live in a world where we are one? Lets live in harmony with nature, not destroy it!
wait… this is a joke right? are people serious… do you really think that cutting up vegetables and eating them is abuse or something? wow.
Yes of course we are serious. How would you like to be harvested, cut up, stewed and served on a plate for someone’s dinner?
Genocide against vegetables must STOP. Their attempts to eradicate, humiliate and mutilate innocent vegetables is disgusting. I urge you, take up your pick-forks, do not let this brutality continue!!
…Is this a JOKE?
Carnivore says, “How would you like to be harvested, cut up, stewed and served on a plate for someone’s dinner?”
Why don’t you ask the poor animals that question, at least from the cut up part?
Don’t forget that plants CAN’T FEEL PAIN- they don’t have nervous systems or pain recpetors. Animals, non-human and human, DO have these and do feel pain and do suffer.
this has GOT to be a joke.
Peggy do you mean to suggest that pain and suffering are prerequisites for life to have value? Whether or not fruits and vegetables feel pain is irrelevant. What matters is that their lives are ended unjustly and they cannot defend themselves like animals can. Meatatarians eat meat as a means of protecting vegetables by reducing the population of their top predators: herbivores.
…
OK, fine. Let’s pretend that what you’re saying is right.
Do you realize that animals themselves eat plants?
One cow must eat dozens, hundreds of pounds of plants during its lifetime. By eating a pound of beef, you’re actually contributing to more “plant suffering” than if you had eaten the plants themselves.
This sort of logic is usually taught in grade 7 science class, if you can recall.
So, if you really want to reduce plant suffering, it’s actually VEGANISM that is the solution.
So if one cow eats hundreds of pounds of plants during its lifetime doesn’t that mean when I eat a cow I am saving hundreds of pounds of my vegetable friends from horrific death at the mouth of said cow? Furthermore, each cow I eat means less cows to reproduce, which means more plants live. Pretty simple, huh?
What you are trying to sell me is that by not eating cows those cows will eat their hundreds of pounds of my plant friends and I will join them in eating hundreds of pounds of my vegetable friends and somehow that means less plants will die?
I gotta say, Peggy, I’m not very impressed with whoever your 7th grade science/logic teacher was. If you’ve proven anything you’ve proven that veganism is the absolute WORST thing plant-loving people can do to save more plant’s lives.
How does it feel to be responsible for so much innocent death?
Euthanasia should be introduced for Vegan’s. I don’t mean petty sudden death either
I should have clarified that a cow eats those pounds of plants during the short lifetime BEFORE she gets killed. By purchasing animal flesh, you’re encouraging the animal agriculture industries to continue feeding plants to the poor animals.
And, actually, no, by eating animals you are NOT saving plants.
In the United States:
-over 70% percent of the grains and cereal grown go to livestock (1)
-nearly half of the water and 80 percent of the agricultural land are used for raising animals for food (2 & 3)
Think about all those grains and cereal going to animals- 70%!
If YOU truly did care about “plant suffering”, you’d realize that abolishing animal agriculture would decrease the suffering of grain and cereal crops by 70%, an astounding amount.

And, by the way, I’m intrigued by your “vegetable suffering” concepts… would you mind enlightening me by giving me a brief description of what you would eat in one day, as a strict carnivore? As a vegan, I’ve been able to meet 100% of my nutrient requirements, and then some, and I’m interested as to how oe would do so on a carnivore diet.
Peggy… whne i read your words my heart just about stopped. how could you endorse such sadistic practices such as “veganism”. I cant beleive your parents thought it was ok to let you grow up that way!
Whatt kind of sicko are you!
ok in all seriousness peggy i think you vegans should all get off your high horse of not eating meat and do the world a favor by shutting the hell up. I mean whopty doo! You don’t eat meat. what do you want? a prize?
Peggy take a moment to realize just how much of a tool you are. This website is obviously a just for fun site, and you come here preaching to people about how you eat nothing but vegetables and post a link to your crappy blog. People like you piss me off and make me write stupid comments like this on forums i rarely visit.
PS: SAVE THE CARROTS!
Peggy, you really impressed me with your use of statistics to explain MORAL ethics, furthermore the way you exployed comments by notable voices, just incredible! You argue your point consistently, I’m envious of your evident intellect.
Your logic is indisputable, except meat tastes GOOD. I do more than imply, I declare we feed animals other animals, the system is by far the most sustainable the world has ever seen! PeghLegh, understand this - animals exist for the benefit of humans, to produce our energy resource, to advance our scientific understand. Their brains are inferior to ours, excluding the odd inbred
Some advice, give up your plight, you’ll never look like the caring person you want to be. The animals don’t love you back either, they’re just attempting to gain food. If that fails, then castration as I previously suggested.
Ummm, Carnivore? Does that mean I have to start eating Vegans? I don’t think I could stomach that.
so the bottom line is that we shall not eat plants, because killing plants is evil, and that we are not to eat animals because they are raised eating plants as well.
SAVE CLOVER, CAULIFLOWER, AND STRAWBERRIES!
STARVE FOR THEIR SAKE!
(or eat tooth paste)
THE BIBLE SAYS THAT GOD CREATED PLANTS FOR FOOD AND ANIMALS FOR COMPANIONS.IT SAYS SO IN THE BOOK OF GENISIS.
I VERY MUCH HOPE THAT THIS WHOLE ORDEAL IS JUST A JOKE.
BESIDES, IF UR AGAINST EATING PLANTS AND AGAINST EATING ANIMALS, WHAT IN THE WORLD ARE YOU SUPPOSED TO EAT?!?!?
you people all need lives
Religion is irrelevent here, our bodies are designed to eat both flesh and plant. They are fully capable of eating both, other animals are only capable of eating plant and some are only capable of eating flesh. If we deny ourselves a source of food we deny the design.
LOL! Oh what a funny bunch you are! Thanks so much for the good laugh.
Ummmm so uhhh, what are we supposed to eat? If we’ve already decided that we don’t want to torture animals for our consumption, do we follow the man who says that we can live souley on air?
Heres a thought, when you cook meat, it is already dead, when you cook a poor helpless vegetable, you are killing it yourself, via STEAMING, or BOILING. You dont boil a cow alive before eating it. do you?
my carrot cousins and pea brothers praise your good efforts.we are ready and willing to rise up and fight for are freedom when the time is right
Rhiannon you can eat the meat of the demonic herbivores that cause the deaths of billions of our plant friends each and every year. Your eating is a form of natural justice so you can relish in your higher level of morality and superiority, which is a nice perk of being meatatarian.
what are you head cases talking about?! i suppose you are all purely meat eaters? this is insane! plants don’t LIVE they exist! what about the calves that are chained down at birth, never allowed to move just to make their muscles tender enough to eat? how can you talk about dead carrots when living creatures are slautered every minute? you disgust me.
to bibi yes let’s all eat toothpaste
Plants don’t live? Can you please explain how plants do not qualify as living being and how animals do?
What about these calves that are supposedly chained down at birth? Did you ever stop and think that maybe that happens to keep them from preying on innocent plant-life? Duh.
I’ve heard some doozies from vegetarians before as they try to defend their inhumane treatment, nay, genocide of innocent fruits and vegetables but I’ve never heard any try to argue that plants are not even alive.
I suppose you want to trick us into believing that it’s okay to do whatever we want to plants because they aren’t alive, right? Well, Offended Vegetarian, what if plants ARE alive? Does that mean you’ll reconsider your barbaric mass murder of fruits and vegetables and join the 21st century’s movement of kindness, AKA the Vegetable Rights Militant Movement?!?!
I challenge you to do so once you realize plants do actually live (and die, usually at the hands of eager killers of your ilk).
Peggie the Veggie makes me laugh out loud, thanks.
Very funny site, well done
This site made me laugh it shows how stupid these activists against eating meat are.
Oh may God!
This is pure cruelty!!! I’m going to cry….
Poor coconut!
Are you joking or what?
Do you really think that vegetable suffer? How can you be sure of this sufference?
Anyway the idea is original and everything is funny!
Wow. Ya’ll are nuts! With a capital N-U-T-S!
When I saw ‘mushroom amputation’, it broke my heart, and I wept. So often we tend to forget the crimes commited against our fungal brethren.
Seriously, How could you ‘laugh out loud’ at someone in love with death and destruction? Let’s stop the immaturity. Obviosly, Peggie has some major issues that she is working through right now.
Hello, I am a representative of Amnesty International (a group that endures to promote human rights). AI would like to apply to support your cause because we believe human rights are something that every living thing deserves. We have abandoned all ideas associated with “human superiority” and the general blunt ignorance we fostered in the past regarding our vegetable friends.
Thank you.
Wait a second, I just slid my index finger over my top row of teeth and found two really pointy ones with a bunch of wider and flatter ones behind them. Then I researched dentistry info on the internet and found out that they’re called canine teeth and moulers. Then, I researched human dietary needs, along with evolution, and you wouldn’t believe what I found out.
Humans have evolved both carnivore and herbavore teeth at the same time and is why they, those stupid scientists, call us ominvores. Woof, but that’s a Chinese expression…
I don’t advocate the mistreatment of plants or animals, but I do like a wilted spinach salad with my filet.
Question, if I, my son, and a self-rightous, self-absorbed, hypocritical, and shockingly cofused vegan and/or PETA member were castaways with absolutely nothing to eat and were starving to death, how would you season PETA steaks?
I loved the site.
Never forget the famous words uttered by Charlton Heston, “Soylent Green is peeoopple!”
I’m so sad that I can’t fart loud enough to show my true disdain for PETA and their emotionally and cognitively crippled followers. This site was a breath of fresh air and has inspired me to keep fighting to get my voice heard.
You’ve all got to be kidding me. Whatever. I’m going to eat a crisp, fresh, apple. Bye!
Kim is the veggie and fruit reaper!
Am I reading this right??? I’m sorry but - no wait, I am so not sorry - the people who run this site actually believe that eating vegetables and fruits and stuff is cruelty? And what exactly do you eat?! When I first came here I had no clue as to what you would eat if you didn’t eat plants or animals, but you guys plea for “vegetable cruelty” to end and live on a diet of nothing but meat in the name of “saving vegetables”? Something’s wrong w/ you, really. If the integrity of your cause was truly maintained, the ecosystem as we know it would not exist, plain and simple. are you saying the world’s bioshpere should be purely comprised of bacteria and similar microbes? cuz those are about the only things on this planet that can live by chemiosynthesis. even then, if you look at it from the space point of view, sooner or later Earth would run out of space, even for bacteria to survive. they’d kill eachother in the struggle for resources, if only passively. you make absolutely no sense. you need help. really. REALLY!!!
lol. just read the comment string up there that confirmed my suspiscions of this whole site being a joke. good one, peepz! although for those of you who actually still seem to REALLY believe in vegetable mutilation - you still need help. and guess what? I CUT UP A PAPAYA AND TWO KIWI’S TODAY! SUCK ON THAT!!!
Now, for us rational human beings who can intelligently speak about veganism without letting our emotions get in the way, I have a few words. First of all, yes, there are people on both extreme ends of the spectrum who will fight for all eternity over whether eating animals is just. Deal with it. I myself just began to sample a mostly vegan lifestyle a few days ago, and not because I want to get on a high horse and point fingers at others. Nor do I believe that eating meat and other animal products is wrong, in principle. I believe that after Adam and Eve were banished from the Garden of Eden, nature changed, and some animals, including humans, began to feed on eachother. While not ideal compared with God’s initially perfect world, if we as humans can treat or let animals live as humanely as possible before we kill them for food (and obviously do so sustainably), we are doing no wrong. The problem is that today’s meat, dairy, and seafood industries are plundering our environment in highly unsustainable ways AND putting the animals involved in the processes under nothing short of agonizing torture. THIS is where I draw the line and boycott the industries that commit such heinous and unnecessary atrocities against conscious, living, breathing, FEELING creatures.
In all sincerity I hesitateted to adopt the vegan lifestyle because I don’t believe one should have to so drastically alter one’s lifestyle to inflict so minimal a loss upon a twisted but sickeningly permeating system. This fight will not be won on veganism/vegetarianism alone; the time it would take to convert a significant percentage of animal product consumers would undoubtedly be more than we have before our biosphere collapses. Not to mention all the animal lives that will have been hellish and ended early before then. We have to get political about it, plain and simple. In that respect, if the people who are pushing so hard for change in the way our industries animals are being treated continue to fuel those industries by consuming their products, how genuine will the powers that be percieve those protestors? Shall we call for change and continue to put our money and energy and resources into to keeping them going? Not I. I can live meat-free until I can be sure the meat I eat lived a humane life before it was killed for my use.
Truly I say.. I grieve both for our animal, and vegetable brethren. The true menace to all, is insects. Embrace the truth, let us consume insects!
Recipe for Sauted Tomato Worms in Mint Toothpaste Sauce:
Ingredients:
2 cups fat, plant-destroying tomato worms
12 grasshopper legs
2 tablespoons sythetic engine oil
1 teaspoon ants, finely chopped
salt (to taste)
1/2 cup mint toothpaste (artificially flavored)
1/2 milk
Directions:
Mix worms, grasshopper legs, ants, and oil and let marinate overnight.
(sauce) put toothpaste and milk in a saucepan and bring to a boil. Lower heat and simmer 2 minutes. Set aside to thicken.
Add marinated worms to a hot skillet and saute until golden brown. Season with salt to taste. Plate and drizzel sauce over the worms. Garnish with evil grasshopper wings.
I can’t believe you all are serious about this site. It’s beyond me that people actually believe that vegetables actually feel pain. If you were to take a hot poker to a animal, it will squeal in pain, and run away. If you take a hot poker to a apple, it will burn. Vegetables have NO CENTRAL NERVOUS SYSTEM! So that obviously means it can feel NO PAIN!
I just find sites like this to be pointless, because the ideas that are behind them make no since. Its obvious no matter how you eat, which things suffer the most. It happens to be the dead flesh that ends up on most peoples plates, and not the fresh vegetables that happens to accompany the corpse depending on the persons diet.
This last bit of comment is for the ones who believe that a animal, can live humane lives before its killed for their use. There is NO SUCH THING, no matter how humane, or “free-range” you think said animal is, in the end when its murdered for human use, it is never humane. I just wish people would wake up and realize how foolish it is to think that “humane” animals actually are treated better than so-called “non-humane”.
Id rather have a tasty apple in my stomach, than to walk around, knowing I have a dead piece of meat rotting in my stomach any day.
All living things are interconnected, is it so hard to see that we’re all the same? Just because plant’s lack a nose or mouth doesn’t mean that they don’t breathe in the air around them. If plants didn’t breathe CO2 they’d die.
So let me guess, because they don’t derive their life from the air the same way we do, they’re inferior or unworthy of just treatment? Do you really believe you’re so special?
Just because our society lacks the capability to perceive the pain that plants feel doesn’t mean that they don’t feel. Our society has yet to prove whether or not a god exists, why the universe works the way it does… hell it was only a couple centuries ago that society lacked the ability to recognize the world is round. Is it so hard to that there are things that we don’t understand? Just because we don’t understand doesn’t make it right.
How would you like to be torn from your roots, separated from the only family you’ve ever known in your short time alive, and die an agonizing death as your flesh is mutilated for consumption?
I swear you vegans are so cruel… you’re just disgusting. Seriously, I think the answer is clear:
Vegan en flambe’
u guys are weird
plants cant feel!
Well, finally, people who understand the terrible injustices done to our veggie brethren, I thought I was alone, sad unloved but here now I see that all those meals of broccolli and cauliflower that I refused to eat, that my cruel unloving parents tried to force down my throat, was not all in vain.
I have recently found that eating vegans not only cleanses the world of veggie haters but clears the air of all that self righteous effluent we are forced to walk through.
Next time a veggie lover asks you over for dinner make sure you call the day before to let them know you wont be consuming any of their foul murdered veggies and will only consume those filthy vegans or at least a cow or two. You know they would try it n you.
omg im gonna have a stir fry with lot of veggies and a baked potato on the side followed by fruit salad for desert those pics made me very hungry mmmmmm veggies mmmmm fruit i love eating them and there nothing you can do about it i’ll do it again and again, i’m a proud veggie killer seriously people look at the facts a pure meat diet is so bad for you and is responsible for colen and bowel cancer vegggie are meant to be eaten or you will end up very sick and the meat industry kills more plants in a day than one human can in a liftime
As evidenced by the previous poster a pure veg diet is responsible for brain cancer.
Well i thought this site is a joke. i disagree with both vegetarians and carnivores. humans have the survival instinct, they shud eat both since both were made to maintain the human race, peggy lol stop being a hippocrit and for carnivores do u actually believe that eating plants is that absurd and mean, come on every1 eats plants, theyre made to be eaten thats why they give off fruits
Guys, as one of you mentioned. Our bodies are designed to eat both plants and animals.
Animal rights activists, why do you think it is natural that lions and other predators eat animals, while it isn’t natural and recommended that humans do that? It is so simple. They were made for us to eat them. It all depends on our view of the purpose of our existence.
dear mmm vegans, what kind of idiot are you vegetables are full of vitamins and minerals that improve brain function. do some research you sick freak.
If that is the case “veggies r yum”, then how do you explain your advanced state of mental retardation?
before you make false accusations regarding my intelligence did you do research or did you just go straight into insults to hide your lack of knowledge on the subject.
lol you weirdos are so fricken hilarious. seriously get a life no one cares about vegetable rights, take a good look at yourselves fight for a real cause e.g.; children slowly starving to death in africa
You’ve already provided all the evidence I’d ever need to make an informed conclusion.
As to the people starving in Africa, we could always send them vegan burgers.
And with the lowered vegan population, our beloved veg population would stand a better chance at recovery.
your sick if you find starving children hilarious, you need psychological help if you show more compassion for plants than people.
Seriously are you a complete retard, you still can not provide any scientific evidence to support your case, again do some research or don’t your probably to retarded to understand anything that might be outside your small sense of comprehension.
dear weirdos,
how many of you all can, lay claim to have never killed plant life, have you ever stepped on a blade of grass that poor thing must have screamed bloody murder when you stepped on it. if you can honestly swear on your life yes, well then you can fight for the cause the rest of you are a bunch of hypocrites and fight for a real cause and help suffering people, or you are soulless.
Alas Veggies, I was at one point in my life a sinner of the highest order… a plant murderer. I can only hope that the work I do now on behalf of all vegetation can help me atone in some way for the suffering I have caused them.
If correcting old wrongs makes me a hypocrite in your eyes, then that is the burden I must bear. So be it.
But it’s also because of you that I realize now that my veg-advocacy is not enough. There are other causes that are just as in need of my attention. And now, because of you Veggies, I have a second cause in my life for which to advocate.
Adolescent Illiteracy
Thank you for showing me that the world has other truly noble causes in addition to veg rights.
omg i laughed so hard when i read your pitiful response. It’s a good thing that there is not to many people like you in the world or that your in a position of power or we would all be dying from colon cancer.
What are you going to do when you get scurvy from lack of vitamin c?
Well I find your ideas interesting and to all the veggies it has being done in the real world. Inuits (Eskimo is an insult)did live on a strictly meat diet and they didn’t die from it, I think also that the Mongolian tribes do not eat alot of vegetables as do some tribes in Africa that live from livestock. Funny that the veggies always put the life of an animal above even the life of a human. If I follow your veggie/vegan ideas concerning animal pain and right’s, why should a plant, insect, fish not have those same right’s? And what give’s you the right here to claim that plants do not feel pain? Maybe is there something else in nature than a nervous system that brings pain? Our knowledge of nature is quite primitive for the moment and we can discover in the future that plants actually feel pain, what would then be your response to this new revolution as a veggie/ vegan?
50 years ago people would laugh at the animal right’s movement, today they are accepted. Vegetal right’s movement is not taken serious for the moment, will it be the same in 50 years?
highly unlikely, no one cares about the rights of a potato
answer this. Why is plant suffering worse than human or animal suffering?
!!! ALL YOUR FUCKING -FURNITURE–CASH–CLOTHES–MEDICINES– ARE MADE OF -PLANTS YOU STUPID MORONS
1.PLANTS DO NOT HAVE CENTRAL NERVOUS SYSTEMS (THEY DO NOT FEEL PAIN AND EMOTION LIKE ANIMALS DO)
2. IT IS VERY UNHEALTHY TO HAVE A PLANT FREE DIET. YOU WILL DIE.
3. YOU CANT BE FUCKING SERIOUS??!! THIS IS RIDICULOUS NOW STOP POLLUTING PEOPLES MINDS WITH THIS. ITS ALMOST AS BAD AS WHEN REDNECKS TRIED TO DENY THE HALLOCAUST HAPPENING
WHY DONT YOU GO LIVE NAKED AND CHEW ON CORPSES OF REAL PAIN FEELING BEINGS.
as reply to carnivore, Peggy do you mean to suggest that pain and suffering are prerequisites for life to have value?
why should we care for beings (barely beings) that do not feel pain more than we care for ones that do feel it. plants cannot suffer or feel pain and it is much harder to maintain a lifestyle that is “dead plant free” If you eat purely meat how do you get your nutrition? I really don’t believe that you people who are serious about this keep up your plant free eating lifestyle. Please if this website is a joke and you are just trying to show your beliefs that animal rights is stupid, STOP your not going to get any attention from anyone important
any important nutritionist, or scientist, or someone who has common sense will tell you that if you are going to stand up for any kind of rights it should be animals. it is better for the planet to avoid relying on animal products than plant ones. THE MEAT INDUSTRY IS OF THE MOST LAND DEMANDING (FOREST CLEARING) PLANET POLLUTING (PLANT KILLING) INDUSTRIES. I am a vegetarian but i look at being vegetarian in the environmental way also. Supporting the meat industry is one of the worst things you can do to our planet and plants. so i think you fanatics are trying to somehow make fun of animal rights and you should stop because few people care or agree with your veiws
and again, carnivore. your posts don’t make you seem stupid. you are good at debating and arguing. i do believe that you don’t truly believe in vegetable rights and that you are purely making fun of animal rights. please reply to my posts
you guys may have some dumb reply to the things previously said to you by people with common sense,but if you kill all the herbivores in the world what will you eat? IN ORDER TO MAINTAIN A CYCLE OF EATING THINGS THAT EAT PLANTS, YOU WILL HAVE TO FEED THEM PLANTS TO KEEP THEM ALIVE.BY EATING MEAT YOU ARE JUST SUPPORTING AN INDUSTRY THAT RAISES BILLIONS OF ANIMALS THAT KILL TRILLIONS OF PLANTS! BY EATING MEAT YOU ARE SUPPORTING MORE PLANT DEATH
BTW celt. we may not know all about nature. if there is some mystery of pain not coming from central nervous systems why should we pay attention to this mysterious pain when there is REAL pain?
I AM AN ENVIRONMENTALIST. i believe in saving the rainforest! i believe we should all live simpler lives but eating a strictly meat diet is not the answer it is illogical to eat things that eat plants because it doesn’t bring you anywhere. we should preserve our earth and not pollute it. but dissing animal rights is not the answer. and being a fanatic about veggie cruelty isn’t either. by eating meat you are contributing to this planet wrecking vicious cycle of both veggie and animal cruelty!
take into consideration that when you eat vegtables and fruits, those are things that THEY DON’T KILL THE PLANT TO HARVEST THESE. the REAL plant cruelty is innocent trees, and they are most important in ecosystems. NOT THE APPLES THAT FALL FROM THEM. THE THINGS THAT HAVE REAL PLANT CRUELTY ARE THE PAPERS OF CASH YOU OWN, COMING FROM SAWED TALL BEAUTIFUL TREES. FRUITS OF A PLANT AREN’T ALIVE. ITS THE PLANT THAT IS ALIVE. FRUITS DONT DIE.
you guys delete the posts that make most sense and cant be argued with further with your fanatic views. animal rights activists ALWAYS have an answer, what about you?
http://brianoconnor.typepad.com/animal_crackers/2004/08/lobsters_plant_.html - 23k -Quoted well from this web site
. . . Bertrand Russell didn’t go far enough when he remarked that animal rights mean votes for oysters. By the same criterion, they mean votes for parsnips.
Animal rights supporters argue that, if an organism re- acts negatively to any exterior influence, and seeks to avoid further contact, then it is in pain. “Fish feel pain,” it was announced in May. Scientists at the Roslin Institute and the University of Edinburgh had placed electrodes in the brains of trout and made recordings as they poked the fishes’ heads. They discovered that the trout brains fired reactive neurones. When acid or bee venom was applied to their lips, the trout rubbed them on the gravel in their tank.
On the same basis, it can be argued that plants also feel pain. They, too, recoil from detrimental sensations. Research by Alan Bown of Brock University in Canada showed that, ten seconds after an insect crawls on to a leaf, the plant secretes a paralysing agent (called gamma aminobutyric acid) that attacks the intruder’s nervous system. Bown explained that plants distinguish between harmless contact from raindrops and the action of caterpillar feet. Not only that, but having been attacked by insects, plants repair their wounds by releasing the chemical superoxide, which helps to prevent infection.
you guys are a joke……….We should eat humans, not animals! this because humans punish animals for the heinous crime of killing plants, and they also feed the animals lots of plants, so the humans are guilty of mass plantocide. By eating humans we make less plants having to suffer, this because the humans will not be able to feed the animals in their farms, so the animals will starve inside the farms, while we gradually reduse the human vegocide!
yes button soup, ive heard of such things. but even the most primitive animals have emotion. they feel loneliness and boredom. And plants have some sort of defense mechanism that could be triggered by “feeling” i’m not going to argue with that, but you need a brain and emotions to SUFFER. and i believe that plants do not feel pain like we animals do. They do not have nerves so I dont really think its pain or anything close to actual feeling
suffering and dying is much worse than dying alone. animals feel intense fear, boredom, loneliness and pain before they are shipped to be butchered, and i value that much more than their actual lives. and it definetly makes more sense to eat plants because of my above explanation. and they are very nutritious too! and eskimos (the only people who lived a meat only diet) usually died in their forties. and not because they caught colds. and vegetarians/vegans are actually the longest living people because cholesterol is the number one killer of Americans (greater than cigarettes.) also, the meat industry is the one of the most polluting and grain using industries.
WHICH FUCKED UP ONE OF YOU RETARDS USING MY NAME WHOEVER POSTED ON FEB 23RD IS A MASSIVE RETARD VEGETABLES ARE FOR EATING IF THEY A NOT EATEN THE DIE AND ROT SO WHATS THE POINT OF YOUR STAND?
Question:
Just because you can’t hear the scream does it mean that poor head of lettuce does not feel pain?
O man!! All these vegetables are making me hungry!!
seeing as it has no nervous system i would most defiantly say not.
What do you guys eat? Honestly are you serious? Are you allowed to take vitamins?
What about the animal eating plants, or worse, the animal killing plants that don’t eat what they kill, how do they fit into this debate? Are they to be idolized or scorned and who has the right to do so, animals or plants?
Is there a death row for child animal molestor and animal murdering plants?
Was it just that recently a grazing animal was released from custody after a jury accepted his defense that the plant shouldn’t have been wearing all of those new juicy and provocative new sprouts in the Spring?
What about plants killing other plants in the eternal struggle for sunshine, water and nutrients? Can’t they all just get along?
Did you know that cigarettes are consistent with a vegetarian lifestyle?
SO…. How exactly did you wierdos get these pics? Did you “kill” these “poor, helpless veggies” yourself? You guys are dum. This whole website is a JOKE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
I am still wondering about “save the earth” of meat eater’s issue. Vegan’s tell us that eating meat is bad for the planet. Well my response to this would be, you can only be a veggie because your food travelled from far away with alot of energy wasted in the process. About 100 years years ago people in Europe would have a very difficult time to eat only veggie a specially in the winter. Have you veggies already done some research on what vegetables you could eat in the winter only grown in Europe and still be able to have a good diet foy yourself’s? So if you would do like the peasents did before raising your own pig at home and slaughter it once a year it would be les poluting the earth that vegtables and fruit that travel thousends of miles to get to Europe. There is also the problem of biodeversity that mono-culture crops bring to nature. You do not have to be Einstein to understand that in a mono-culture field almost no animals, insects and other plants can live because of the spraying of chemicals. Now if you look at a pasture for live stock, wild animals, insects and other plants can still live in this kind of nature.
Milk, honey, aphid dew, spider webs, silk, pollen, hair/fur/feathers (after falling off the animal), snake skins after molting, arthropod shells after molting, ashes left after a natural fire, vitamins, boogers (whale snot), volcanic ash mixed with water, and my favorite finger nail clippings… these are what you eat if you don’t want meat or veggies. There are also variations of dirt and clay that are tasty and healthy. Bees wax doesn’t have much nutritional value, but helps with certain digestive ailments. Salts, sugars, proteins, and lipids are also found in nature and can be harvested without destroying life.
The biggest problem in all this debate in my opinion is the terrible crimes committed against micro-organisms. Each living plant and animal destroys trillions upon trillions of viruses and bacteria cells every day.
I’m going to start a new Web site to defend the rights of micro-organisms. Save the amoeba!!
I just remembered a few more things one could eat without harming plants or animals… egg shells, after-birth, placentas, and umbilical cords. Yummy!
Dear Sirs
I take offense at your labelling of everything which grows on trees as a vegetable. This is clearly not the correct usage of the term and I am sure that fruits all over the world are outraged by this ignorance.
This is just like calling every east asian chinese. Fruits have their own identity and culture which is very much different from that of the vegetables. By labelling the fruits as vegetables we are depriving them of their identity and self worth.
Have they not been tortured enough for you to come along and snatch away their existence by dissolving them into the more popular and well know category of vegetables?
Sincerely Yours

Having just finished an asparagus,onion omelet I
am on my way to weed my garden as I fatten my plants up for their inevitable journey to my stomach. After which I will be in the shop putting together boards of pine,oak,walnut which I have sliced up into beautiful boards for furniture upon which I will rest my legs while I partake of a large bowl of strawberry shortcake tonight
What about fruits, Wazeeri? You’re a fruit, so what? Since veggies are getting Veggie Pride parades in Paris and New York I guess we’ll have to have Fruit parades, oh wait…you already do.
Let me guess, Juicy Fruit is your favorite chewing gum, correct?
In all seriousness, you’re ugly and your mother dresses you funny. “What about the fruits?”, please…
GUANO, y’all can eat guano, or my butt, whichever.
U kno some of these vegies r fruits so y is it on www.vegetablecruelty.com if it’s a FRUIT!!!!!
I am a whole hearted vegetarian. I’m currently drinking a goblet full of V8 and Enjoying a large bowl full of luscious spinach, collard greens, Radishes, tomatoes, carrots, and my personal favorite…
… POTATOES. Oh yeah the cows you eat aren’t carnivores, unless you plan on eating your offspring, there is no point in this organization.
so as im seeing this i have to laugh because if you think about it every thing we consume has come from a plant or animal of some sort whether you are eating it or its bi products so what i am saying is that you are eating a plant and or animals every day whether it is indirectly or directly so yeah get over it i have to say that this is a funny sight and im hoping that it is a joke because if not you guys need to find something else to do with your time
Dear Sir,
I take offense at you calling me a fruit. A fruit is not a term of ridicule and should not be used as a term of ridicule.
Fruits have made great sacrifices for us. When a fruit meets it’s imminent end it dries and leaves it’s carcass which grows into the very trees which provide you and I with Oxygen.
Calling people fruit cakes, Fruity, old boy Fruit face just shows your ignorance and arrogance to the plight of our planet’s most important members.
Kind Regards
Wazeeri
