I am vegetarian, but not vegan. I believe you should not eat anything who has emotions.
@ABCDEF7 But how do we really know ? There have been experiments with plants...

@bijouxbroussard Do you believe that
1. Plants have ears and can understand all languages spoken in this world without being taught? So they understand what has been said.

2. They have vision to see and can observe, and can understand various behaviours.

3. They have heart, heart beats, sweat, pulse and breathing rate that a lie detector machine processes to deduce?

These doesn't seems to be scientific experiments that has factual and logical reasoning behind them that also can be proved and verified later. There can be lot of other factors that they they might have not undertook while conducting such experiments, like lighting & air conditions, water and other environment provided to the plants.

I would be happy to see good quality research done in this. Which has facts and logic to back it.

I believe that plants do have senses that are required for their survival and growth. [b][i]But there is difference between senses and emotions.[/i][/b]

Now a days many people make videos just to get views and subscriptions.
@ABCDEF7 Even tongue in cheek (which I suspect this video might’ve been) I thought it was an interesting premise.

@bijouxbroussard When looking at these experiments, it reminded me of a joke.

A scientist was conducting an experiment. He took a cockroach and shouted at him to run. It immediately ran away from there. Then he cut his one leg and shouted again, cockroach again managed to run away. Then the scientist broke one more, this time cockroach was having difficulty in running, but he managed to go away. The scientist continue to break his leg and observe how the cockroach is reacting. When only one leg was remaining the cockroach was still trying to move, but was not able to walk away. Finally the scientist broke his last leg also and shouted many times but the cockroach was not moving at all.

The scientist concluded, [i]"A cockroach stops listening when all his legs are bro[/i]ken."
