How will we ever know for sure if plants have their own form of consciousness that doesn't follow a list of requirements that's based on animals, or can feel pain.

Yeah, plants aren't stationary. All plants move, just very, very slowly compared to animals. Looking at time lapse videos of vines growing, reaching out for something to grab on to and stuff is pretty neat. They kind of whip around in circles until they feel they've hit something worth grabbing onto.

Wait I thought you had 7 geese.

[–] strawberrysocial@lemmy.world 1 points 3 weeks ago (7 children)

Are geese good animals to have?

Simplest answer is: if you are a vegan, do not own a cat. They are obligate carnivores. There is no healthy and humane way around the fact they need to process meat to be healthy. Don't own a cat if you are vegan and don't want to feed your pet other animals. If you don't want to rehome your cat, you will need to live with the fact that you will need to sacrifice another living mammal in order to feed your pet.

Owning a pet while vegan is already kind of hypocritical..

When my step dad died, it was a difficult process trying to legally sell his hand guns. You can't buy guns from Walmart here either. That's so strange that you can where you're from.
