You obviously have no idea what you're talking about. My rebuttle will be pointless, since you'll just make up more erroneous crap, but I'll do it anyway, if only for amusement value:Plants will also act differently in the same situation depending on what they are used too. If you move a tree from a normally sunny area, to a suddenly very dark area, it will react differently and slower than a tree that is from wisconsin, and knows to shed its leaves when the daylight hours become shorter. What controls this? I am not sure, but I would hazard a guess that they have some sort of process similar to that of our dog.
No, a plant does not react with a "process similar to a dog." That is absurd. A plant reacts solely by genes. Something happens (stimulus), and then this is how each and every plant with those same genes reacts. There's no choice involved. Put two plants of the same species in the same situation, and they will react exactly the same, no matter prior experiences.
Dogs, on the other hand, have a distinct brain. They can learn. They can make choices. Put two dogs of the same species (even with identical genes) in the same situation, and their reactions can differ depending upon past experiences.
Also, what the hell does "pain is only a metaphorical concept" even mean? Pain is a result of a distinct nervous system, meant to show a danger. It's a very objective biological concept. Dogs can feel pain. Grass can't.
