plant anguish:

Another reason to feel guilty and hate life, brought to you by the left.

As C.S. Lewis once alluded, in their world, "...it's always winter. Always winter, and never Christmas."

Well a million blades of grass are going to be screaming in pain at about 11 AM tomorrow at my house.

At least they’re polite when they complain.

And since humans are attracted to the smell of cut grass - can we assume we’re ‘relatives’ of the “rescue” groups?

I have shrub oak and every few years they get attacked by green inchworms. Then what happens is that a tiny black wasp appears and lays eggs on the trees. The tree then forms a small round ball around the eggs that the new wasps crawl out of (a few days later?) and attack the inchworms (caterpillars) ending the inchworm infestation for a couple of years.

The really cool part is, the grass grows back.

Now if humans had that power, and say, got a limb cut off, or even just a finger...it would be painful, but if it grew right back, no big deal. Maybe we should start a group to protect the poor grass from its anguist...we could call it PETA...Plants Emitting Terrible Anguish...ask for donations, protest to Congress, and chain ourselves to every lawn to prevent it from being cut.

I just read something a couple of weeks ago about how the smell of new mown grass is a "relaxant" of sort for humans, sort of an aeromatic stress reliever.

Way back when I was a kid I had some "Tales of the Crypt" comic books, which were later banned by the Comics code; I remember a story about a guy who invented a radio receiver that would pick up the sounds of plants in pain...like a tree yelping as someone was cutting it down...or a rose bush crying when someone cut off a rose...well, it was silly then (and fiction) and it's silly now.

Maybe algore could pick up on it and make it his new cult..."Plants have feeling too".

This is the end game for the lunatic screwball left.
Can’t eat animals, cause they are, well, animals just like us.
Can’t eat plants cause they too feel pain and have families.
So, humans will just have to go extinct to save the planet.

(except for them of course, cause they’re special)

Does the EPA know about this? Now that they high-tailed it out of the lead in bullets nonsense, they must have quite a few bureaucrats sitting around looking to create their next nightmare.

It couldn’t possibly be that cut grass just smells like cut grass and insects have evolved to recognize that the smell of cut grass may indicate a food source.

Bacon has also developed a signal when cooked that causes people to swarm around and eat it.

Enviro-wackos will translate this to infer that plants have feelings; therefore will lobby lawmakers to stop us from cutting grass.... /s =.=

I had to hire a therapist to treat my lawn after it saw my John Deere.
