Plants don't "feel". There is no nervous system, no capacity for pain.
Plants are simply a collection of cells reacting to external influences
(although the same thing could be said about humans)... Plants have no
capacity to feel distress or pain, they simply run a routine based on
stimuli (about as "feeling" as a computer).



Just because we haven't the ability to measure their responses doesn't mean
they don't have any. g
There is a whole lot we don't know yet.
