It’s tempting to want to bolt on specific, hard-coded beliefs to the #Sentientism worldview’s “evidence, reason, and compassion for all sentient beings.”
But as soon as any worldview bakes in specific beliefs it becomes, by definition, dogmatic.
Sentientism is anti-dogma.
No, what gives any animal intrinsic moral worth is preference of experience, which is a mental state that depends on sentience. Plants have no nervous system, no sentience, no preferences.
Because plants don't feel pain or have any intrinsic moral worth and you already agree with me. If you are about to crash a car into a dog do you swerve into a bed of hundreds of roses or kill the 1 dog.
If I rip apart a flower for fun or to use the juices to make perfume how do you feel about that compared to ripping apart a cat to play with their blood
Cows used for dairy are repeatedly impregnated & separated from their calves until their bodies wear out & they're killed. #NationalMilkDay
