		<description>Us humans are really good about rationalizing actions that are concurrent to our beliefs. So much in that sense that we won&#039;t even acknowledge the disparity between our actions and our thoughts. 

Cognitive dissonance is a pain, so we avoid it any way we can...</description>

		<description>This article is stupid. Plants don&#039;t have a central nervous system, animals do. Jose Carlos you are pathetic. Lions and tigers are WILD ANIMALS. It is in their instinct as wild  animals to hunt and kill their prey, us humans are smarter than that and we don&#039;t have to hunt for food. Yes, there are starving people in Africa but for every person fighting for a better life for animals, there are many fighting for the people of Africa. It is obviously our passion and we are not freaks because of it. Ann: so does what you&#039;re saying mean if a person drives they are contributing toward thousands of the deaths of animals and humans? Check yourself.</description>

		<description>I really dont care anything about cows and chickens feelings! the lions and tigers dont care about hindu feelings before killing them so WHY I HAVE TO? There are no sin into eating meat thats pure bullshit.
I only take into account the fact that people eat more meat than needed and thats not so healthy but feelings of the cow before die? We even are the same species! those guys are simple freaks...</description>

		<description>This argument is incredibly stupid, plants do not have a nervousness system, nor do they have a brain that could process fear, pain or suffering.  If you have ever seen a factory farm raised animal, you can see that the conditions are unhealthy, if you have seen animals slaughtered, you can see and hear the pain that they are going through.  As many have similar nervous systems to humans, we can equate what it may feel like to choke, be scalded, have our nuts cut off without anesthesia, etc. etc.  

I am a vegan, and I don&#039;t care if you eat meat or not, but coming up with rationales like this to avoid taking notice of or to justify not caring about the suffering that goes on, is beyond dumb.  Most vegans I know aren&#039;t vegans because they think eating meat is wrong, it is because the meat, eggs and dairy are usually raised and slaughtered in a completely unnecessarily torturous manner.  If my buddy offered me meat from a hunt, or someone offered me eggs from their backyard raised chickens, I would have no problem eating those.  Trying to reduce suffering in any manner is not hypocritical, it is the right thing to do.</description>

		<description>To answer your questions, no I do not cut my lawn or trim bushes.  I do not know the average life cycle of a vegetable plant, however I do not believe the value of life should be determined by years spent in a physical form anyway.

As for cows being tortured you should just buy your beef from the grocery store where no cows are harmed.</description>

		<description>this is the dumbest thing i have ever read - do you cut your lawn? do you trim bushes? 

even if your article had any validity to it -  what is the average life cycle of a vegetable plant?  they will die on their own within months at most past full growth. versus a SENTIMENT being like a cow who is tortured and slaughtered for years.</description>

		<description>What&#039;s the meaning of &#039;suffering&#039;, anyway? Have you tried growing plants yourself?

I, myself, think that plants could suffer, too. Maybe you can argue they couldn&#039;t feel any pain when you pluck one of their leaves, or one of their fruit. They may be grateful because they provide you food, but they could suffer from insufficient water and sun, for example. Some plants will have their leaves dry because they&#039;re thirsty and sunburned... Would you call this as &#039;not suffering&#039;?</description>

		<description>Just saying, vegans don&#039;t eat eggs or dairy products. Your argument is directed against lacto-ovo vegetarians. :)</description>
