Plants are not sentient. Sentience has arisen out of motility. A nervous system (and brain) are required to control motility and sentience has arisen out of that control modality. Plants are not motile. They have no motile elements (musculature) and the necessary nervous control thereof. (Don't mention the Venus Flytrap. That's not the same as true motility.) > > Vegans tend to devour their prey alive- we carnivores have the decency > to kill our prey first. > Unless you are a hyena. Or how about the Maasai people of Africa? They will regularly "tap" the arteries of their cattle for a fresh drink of blood.
