Ok, if you kick a dog, doesn't it yelp? If you step on a cat's tail, doesn't it hiss? Do the same thing to a plant. Does it make any noise. No. Well, of course it can't. It doesn't have a mouth. I have no idea if plants feel the same as more complex animals do, but I'm guessing they don't. Or if they can, we can't hear their pain. What turns me off of meat, is that you can hear the pain of the animal. And it just creeps me out.
