Plants can not feel pain

Plants can react to stimuli, but they have no central nervous system, so they cannot feel pain.

Studies have been done on plants by reputable sources e.g. The Smithsonian, but they have merely showed plants reacting to sunlight, drugs, and various stimuli.

There are no peer-reviewed studies showing that plants are conscious in any way or that they can feel pain. No credible scientific groups have published papers to this effect.

Unlike almost every animal, plants are not sentient.

Many people say that plants feel pain as an excuse to continue eating animals. However, more plants are killed to satisfy a carnist diet than a vegan diet, so even if it were true that plants can feel pain, the argument still makes no sense.

Why do you not feel pain when you cut hair or nails?

Hair and nails are composed of keratin, a protein that does not have nerve endings or blood supply, making them insensitive to pain. When you cut hair or nails, you're essentially trimming dead tissue, which does not trigger pain receptors in the body. In contrast, the skin and underlying tissues, which do have nerve endings, can feel pain when injured. This lack of sensation in hair and nails is why grooming them does not cause discomfort.


Why don't you feel pain when you cut your hair or nails?

You don't feel pain when cutting your hair or nails because they are composed of keratin, a protein that is not living tissue. Hair follicles and nail beds contain nerve endings that can sense pain, but the parts of hair and nails that are cut do not have any nerves or blood supply. Thus, while the act of cutting can be perceived, it does not cause pain because there are no pain receptors in the hair or nail itself.
