Now, Crabs Feel Pain!

[kleinboet]

Now I don't know about this crabs feel pain?

 

 

 

But I've read in the medical journals that men feel pain fron crabs!!!

[five bellies]

Yes we do

[kleinboet]

I wonder if these "scientists" have ever heard a plant scream, because they do!! That has been hushed up as there are people who won't eat meat "because it is cruel".

I read somewhere that they had worked out a way to "hear" the plant and if you touched the leaves it moaned and if you pulled them off they screamed!!

Try growing mimosa (sensitivity plant).

 

It reacts to your touch by scrunching up its leaves.

 

Burn the stalk, and as the 'pain' signal travels slowly up on the sap, each pair of leaves above collapses and folds in turn.

 

Walk across grass infested with mimosa, and writhing footprints behind show where you have trod.

 

Absolutely positive proof that plants experience pain, and why tomatoes should be stunned before being sliced (the silent screams of a tomato being sliced are really upsetting to nearby houseplants!)

Whats even worse is the tourtured screams of Beans and Brussells after they have been eaten!

Hi Leon, It wasnt you that wrote this was it???? :D :D Sung to the tune of that ol fav...Give Peace a Chance..

 

 

Listen up brothers and sisters come hear my desperate tale

I speak of our friends of nature trapped in the dirt like a jail

Vegetables live in oppression, served on our tables each night

This killing of veggies is madness, I say we take up the fight

Salads are only for murderers, coleslaw's a fascist regime

Don't think that they don't have feelings, just cause a radish can't scream

 

Chorus:

I've heard the screams of the vegetables (scream, scream, scream)

Watching their skins being peeled (having their insides revealed)

Grated and steamed with no mercy (burning off calories)

How do you think that feels (bet it hurts really bad)

Carrot juice constitutes murder (and that's a real crime)

Greenhouses prisons for slaves (let my vegetables go)

It's time to stop all this gardening (it's dirty as hell)

Let's call a spade a spade (is a spade is a spade is a spade)

 

I saw a man eating celery, so I beat him black and blue

If he ever touches a sprout again, I'll bite him clean in two

I'm a political prisoner, trapped in a windowless cage

Cause I stopped the slaughter of turnips by killing five men in a rage

I told the judge when he sentenced me, "This is my finest hour,

I'd kill those farmers again just to save one more cauliflower"

 

Chorus

 

How low as people do we dare to stoop,

Making young broccolis bleed in the soup?

Untie your beans, uncage your tomatoes

Let potted plants free, don't mash that potato!

Oh spare the spud! Eat a cow instead!

 

I've heard the screams of the vegetables (scream, scream, scream)

Watching their skins being peeled (fates in the stir-fry are sealed)

Grated and steamed with no mercy (you fat gourmet slob)

How do you think that feels? (leave them out in the field)

Carrot juice constitutes murder (V8's genocide)

Greenhouses prisons for slaves (yes, your composts are graves)

It's time to stop all this gardening (take up macrame)

Let's call a spade a spade

(is a spade, is a spade, is a spade, is a spade......)

 

Power to the peas! Give peas a chance!

all we are saying, is give peas a chance

Hi Leon, It wasnt you that wrote this was it????

 

 

One of my vegetable plots (cultivated in rotation) never used to produce a good crop of tomatoes.

 

It took me a while to realise that, with the kitchen door open in Summer, there's a clear line of sight from that particular plot into the kitchen.

 

The growing plants in that plot could see their offspring being sliced up, and probably hear their screams! :horror:

 

Use of a fly-screen has solved the growing problem (but not my conscience - hey ho!)
