I'm QUITE SURE plants feel - and yes, it REALLY HURTS some of the more sensitive among us to see an unwatered pot plant. A careless vegan eating without awareness is every bit the same in my book.
I welcome the research and don't think it changes the imperative towards plant based living at all.
Great post.
Hey great comment! I also feel the pain of an unwatered pot plant. But that kind of extends to all beautiful plants, as well.
