We currently believe grass does not feel pain, but what if we learn we have merely not fully understood how grass operates?

Would you start to feel bad for all the times you cut grass?

TC is absolutely correct. In the course of a normal day, the grass Im mowing may be experiencing pain. I have no idea if grass is capable of pain, but well see. Lets assume it is. Lets say it does, but I dont know if it does, and I dont care. Maybe it thinks Im going to mow it into pieces if I dont act quickly, or maybe its just bored of being mowed. But, if its possible to suffer pain, its possible that Im harming it. Its possible, also, that Im somehow harming myself. Theres no way to be sure, because I know nothing about grass, and it might be a bunch of fun.

Its an interesting situation. Should I bother mowing it? Should I tell anyone?

The funny thing is I had a biology teacher who was talking about how it's silly that people believe plants feel pain. I told him how does he know they don't feel pain in a way we can't understand, he got cheated and started yelling that they don't have a nervous system therefore they can't feel pain.

Depending on the type of grass it gets cut before it gets that tall.

Reminds me of a short story I read in Jr. High. A man invented a device to allow him to hear frequencies normally beyond the reach of human hearing. And he heard screams of pain, his neighbor was cutting flowers from his garden.

This is actually true. The smell is the pain reaction of grass.

I always think of the leaves I plucked from trees and bushes. How many flowers I've killed with no remorse. Sometimes, it weighs on me.

Well it shouldn't keep growing and trying to overtake things.

Then it wouldn't be getting killed.

They probably do we just can't hear them express it.

That's a sad thought. Plants are something we don't really think about individually. Usually, all the "save the trees" or such like that is more focused on the benefits of doing so towards animals and humans. No one ever considers saving the trees for the trees themselves.

Cows are a relatively new species so they always ate grass.

Grass did a pretty good job taking over in many parts of the world.

I wonder what plant-life will be dominant in another 50 million years.
