in Maharashtra, the state government is concerned about trees feeling pain.They are insane.
In order to 'feel pain' a nervous system and a brain is required, none of which does a tree have. And apparently neither do Chief Minister Vilasrao Deshmukh, Deputy Chief Minister R R Patil or social activist Anna Hazare.
(figures there'd be an 'activist' involved in this nonsense.)
In normal trees, yes, but this might be a very, very sensitive tree. (hehehe)
