It’s crazy because these are the same people who probably kill spiders or step on ants while saying sentience doesn’t Matter. If it didn’t matter then why are you mowing your lawn?!! The poor grass!!!

How are they measuring sentience? What does “less sentience” mean? How does a plant have any level of sentience?

You should really do the research. We Just found out plants emit noises. The more dehydrated/hurt they are the louder the noise is

I actually can’t find a good source for what the Jain stance on this is. A Reddit thread is saying that they are against contraception or sex without the intent to conceive a child because of how many sperm die? Seems a bit wild to me

Do noises equal sentience?

the noises mean they can feel pain and discomfort and react to it, which is how we gage sentience in animals
