60 million birds die from pesticide poisoning each year. I think thatās the US alone. Just so people can eat plants which are covered in pesticides, are mostly indigestible fibre and antioxidants.

The screaming part is real. It happened to me once when I harvested a Dream Beaver plant. It wasnāt as much an audible scream as it was a transfer of chaotic feeling through frequency. I āfeltā its pain. I thought I was crazy and never told anyone but then I told one person and they said it also happened to them only one time with cannabis and then they pointed me to a study which showed that they can produce these vibrations to emit a sort of sound/signal. It is really hard to explain because it has to be experienced. I believe some plants, especially heavily worked, have this ability and we can barely, if ever, perceive it.

From what I understand
The animals who couldnāt survive on the resources around them,
Died out
I know you were being funny but it explains a lot about how the cycle of life seems extremely self sustaining. All the inefficient organisms were (mostly) wiped out by being unable to procreate.

I remember reading about eating yourself to survive and the calorie costs make it not worth it. Iāll just have the ribeye.

Sentience, as we currently define it, does not seem apply to plants. Communication boils down to sending signals, which is a survival trait of every living thing, down to bacteria.
Itās fucking awesome science is finally getting to this stuff.
The argument isnāt just āanimals feel painā itās the resources used to make meat are absurd, many of the methods are unethical, and the industry is subsidized (at least in the US) by the federal government.
I eat meat, I come from meat eaters, I even worked in a butcher shop. I canāt ignore the realities of the industry because itās uncomfortable, thatās silly.
As weed growers, I think we can all agree the real good shit comes from smaller farmers, the shit at the store is still good, but itās not the same league.

Yeah I think it would be strange to anthropomorphize this. They definitely have some kind of intelligence. It is not like our intelligence or comprehension. Maybe it is better or worse. Does anyone ask if a slime mold is sentient? Yes they doā¦

You know what is intelligent? All the animals we eat like pigs and cows are smart as fuck. The ones you see in the farms are the dumb couch potatoes. The pigs arent even fully matured into their real selves. They are neotinized like the idea that early hominids kept their flat facial feautures due to neoteny.
I bet you this guy played cow chess.

Thatās why I stopped eating octopus and squid. They seem quite smart. Not like a pig or cow. Those are kinda dumb.

I met a guy a year or two back that got one of these plant wave things as a gift and told me it ended up being really useful
Definitely thinking about getting one now 
I only eat smart animals to absorb their smartness.
Seriously though I do like octopus.
