        Animals (cows in this case) feel pain, fear, grief and so on. Plants don’t. We can survive just fine without murdering millions of sentient animals.

        Killing dogs and eating their meat is animal abuse. Doing the same to cows isn’t. Quite hypocritical if you ask me.

            Are they sentient? The above qualities describe sentience to a certain degree. Do plants feel grief? Do they feel fear?

              it depends how u define sentience. we all have to draw the line somewhere. u choose somewhere between animals and plants, and that is fine. agree to disagree
