: I am so sick of hearing a non-vegetarian say "What about the plants
: don't they have any feeling?" Excuse me, I hardly see the comparison
: there is quite a difference. Why don't all of the meat eaters
: mind their own buisness and stop speaking about a cause they do not
: support. Why do they care what we do?

Plants such as carnivorous plants (-venus fly trap), do have feelings. They have some sort of scent in the inner "flower" (jaw really!) and flies are attracted to this scent. When the plant feels or senses this fly, it clamps down on th fly and digests it. Yummy!
