> if plants could yell and howl in pain they would.

What is that based on?

> that entire view is based on the vegan feeling so uniquely enlightened

This point, and others like it, are just unfounded ad hominem attacks. Nobody here has said anything like it, and the only time I've seen something like it mentioned is when people use similar attacks.

it’s based on this paper and the signals they receive and reactions, plants do not have vocal chords though

I expounded upon the viewpoint I was familiar with, I said I’m familiar with it and wrote about it

There are no strawmans or ad hominem in doing that

The only response is whether the view interpretation was inaccurate or not

Someone can't be familiar with an ad hominem viewpoint and write about it?
