    So you believe star fish and jelly fish are plants based on a lack of brain and just because fish can’t scream they aren’t conscious. This is your messed up imagined idea of what defines consciousness.

    not mine.

    And using KYS rhetoric in your other comment is unethical. This is exactly the problem with vegans and their conscious argument. You would indeed have to eat nothing to be truly ethical by the conscience standard. But starving to death and encouraging others to do so is also unethical.

    Therefore it is a non starter argument as far as ethics are concerned.

    And this is online bullying you’re engaging in. To say the least.

    Enjoy the block list, psychopathic troll. I won’t be bullied by your bad faith arguments any further.

      Holy shit, did you skip basic biology?

      Kingdom phylum class species, do these words mean anything to you?

      Jellyfish and starfish are animals, not plants. Not all things without brains are plants, but there are no plants with brains that we know of.

      Jellyfish seemingly cannot feel pain and only have enough neurons to crudely sense their environment; I advocate against consuming any animals, but in terms of animal suffering it is probably less harmful to eat a jellyfish than a cow, chicken, pig, or even fish, which can feel pain.

      My ethics include using scientifically acquired information to make the best choices we can. The fuck are you doing?

      Not if it reduces innocent suffering. Your lazy, stupid, selfish choices are deadly. You’re the one pretending we shouldn’t eat anything. Try it out. Let us know how it goes.
