Some people love to use this information as a fallacious argument of futility against veganism, i.e. that suffering cannot be avoided because "plants suffer too!". But this misses the point. Plants can respond to stimuli, but it doesn't mean that they feel pain, suffer and have a consciousness and emotions like animals do.

> Plants have no eyes, no ears, no mouth and no hands. They do not have a brain or a nervous system.

That again, they respond to stimuli but don't feel pain like an animal.
