Plants communicate and may have vision and future science might show that they are more similar to animals than we currently think. https://www.scientificamerican.com/article/veggies-with-vision-do-plants-see-the-world-around-them/ |
Future science may suggest they're more similar to animals than we think, though their apparent lack of a central nervous system or a brain does suggest future science may NOT suggest they're more similar to animals than we think.
Of course, that defeats your own argument. If you're concerned about killing plants, that's a strong argument for going vegan. A food animal will eat as much as 500 times as many calories as the human gets from eating the animal. You will kill hundreds, perhaps thousands, as many plants by eating an animal as you will by eating plants directly. If you're concerned that plants feel pain, then logic dictates that you should go vegan to stop the plant-pocalypse.
