    For me it was thumping, the industry standard way of killing piglets by grabbing them by the back of the head and smashing them into concrete until they’re dead. That or the CO_2 acidifying every mucus lining in a pig’s body, chemically burning them alive while they suffocate to death because people get enjoyment out of it

    No, plants do not feel pain. They do not have a nervous system, they do not have consciousness, etc.

    Even if they did, that’s still an argument for veganism. Where do you think animals get the energy they store in their bodies? They don’t absorb it from the sun. They eat plants, use some of that energy sustaining their life, then you eat them and absorb some of what’s left. Anywhere from 1/4 to 1/10th of the energy they originally consumed. Meaning if you are looking to minimize suffering, regardless of whether or not plants feel pain (which they don’t), eating plants directly is how you do that.
