To be honest I only read the title, bumped into a paywall when i clicked the link and couldn’t be bothered to put more effort in it.
I do agree on this.
But not on this, although i am not gonna argue why slave animals is a thing and slave plants is not a thing.
You’re right, it’s finding the balance - that was the topic of my comment basically.
I think bonzi trees are enslaved. Like, they’re purposefully mutilated and stunted in their growth for the tastes of beings vastly beyond their comprehension.
By that same vein, I think most commercial trees are probably enslaved too. Do you know what they do to walnut trees in the central valley of California? They cut old trees down to the stumps, then Frankenstein little sallplings onto those stumps like gluing the top half of a toddler onto world class powerlifter legs. It’s honestly kinda fucked up even if they didn’t feel anything, and studies have repeatedly shown that plants can probably feel something analogous to pain.
Argh, I chose this AMP article over one that displayed properly because it didn’t seem to have a paywall. Guess that was just my browser extension. I’ll see what I can do.
