Those of you saying plants are "intelligent" are [i]very[/i] wrong. They have absolutely [i]no[/i] thinking apparatus and [i]no[/i] decision making of any kind. Plants simply grow in response to stimuli. Many simpler animals are likely the same. I think some vegans are a little over the top, but the sentience argument is totally valid.

Pain, fear, nervousness, terror, sadness, and discomfort all occur in our brains and nervous tissues. Plants have no nervous tissue or brains of any kind. They are multicellular, but think no more than bacteria do. All plants do is grow and reproduce. The functions of plant life require no thought, and so they have no thought.

The things you have stated are verifiable, as far as we know. Our current understanding of the reality of life leads us to think that we are certain of these things. I feel we are due for another paradigm shift. Maybe the Earth is their brain? There is still much that science cannot explain about the nature of plant life, just as there is much that it cannot explain about human life.
