It may be more accurate to say then that: Based on current understanding plants do not feel pain. However, that does not necessarily rule out that they do, more research may suggest that they do. Until then it may be a fair to assume that they do not.

Which would make it sort of fucked up to mock them feeling pain and suffering, as we can't say they definitely don't. Yeah, that was the point.

Oh, yeah, we don't agree with mockery. We are vegans and don't agree with the militant vegans on everything. Some things we do but not all, this being one of them.
