    It is not an “analogy”. Plants scream just as much as animals do, but since they are less cute than animals you prefer to claim they have no feelings.

      No, I prefer to base my decisions about what is sentient or not sentient on science rather than anthropomorphisms.

      Plants don’t scream. Plant’s don’t feel. Animals do. Deal with it.

        What you mean is, you don’t know. You are making assertions without basis.

          No, I’m making them based on science. Which is more than you can say about yours. Science isn’t absolute truth, but it is the closest we have.

          You, however, are making shit up out of your ass.
