I have searched the net well and not found a single research that found that plants feel pain. Yes they react to stimuli and also produce electrochemicals and all but it still doesn't prove they feel pain. Plants also have a different kind of life : without emotion, without brain.

The kind of life that we lead when we say we have become "lifeless", immune and indifferent to anything in the environment. This in itself proves that life involves psychological and emotional feelings and reactions, the ability to think, etc. Plants do not have these abilities, animals do.

Moreover, animals eat huge amounts of plants or animals to survive so by eating them, the non vegeterian people who say plants also feel pain are commiting double murder. You are consuming them and the plants or animals they consumed. Also, if you eat both plants AND animals, then also you are commiting double murder, better murder times four. A plant gets 1,000 Joule energy from the sun. 990 J are lost to the environment and 10 J are passed on to the animal who eats it, again 9 Joule is lost to the environent so the remainder is 1 Joule which is passed on to the animal who eats this herbivores animal ( lion or man), 0.9 Joule is lost to the environment so only 0.1 Joule is left for doing energy that we spend on doing stuff. Now imagine if someone eats a carnivores animal, what energy are you really getting? Even if you eat th
