Humans just don't get it

 

Humans are just so argumentative and always have an excuse as to why they can't stop abusing animals. 

the best part.... 08:01 - Rocks are sentient

Check out this Article as I normally hear things about what about Mushrooms they are sentient??

The best explanation I've found on this topic :

Single-celled organisms are not sentient.
Fungi is not sentient.
There are many things that react to their environment or communicate chemical signals without being sentient.
My thermometer reacts to the environment, and nobody thinks my thermometer is sentient.
My neurons communicate with each other by sending chemical signals, but nobody thinks that an individual neuron is sentient.
Sentience, as far as we know, requires a nervous system to input signals from the environment and either a brain or ganglia to process and decide how to react to those signals.
That said, if you want to avoid eating fungus, go for it. There are even some religions (janes) that already do this.

Also, think about it this way. Why does sentience evolve/develop in organisms through time? It evolves because it is highly useful to avoid predation or other environmental harms. There is ZERO evolutionary pressure for sentience to evolve in organisms THAT CANNOT MOVE. Why would a plant or fungi develop the ability to think about the environmental stimulus it is receiving, if it is immobile and incapable of reacting to that stimulus? A cow can decide "it is too hot here, I will move away" but a plant can't move away, so there is no evolutionary pressure for it to evolve sentience.

Now, single-celled organisms can also sense and react to their environment, but it is more like a thermometer. A yeast cell essentially has chemical sensors that can "taste" / "feel" the environment and will trigger a chemical chain reaction causing it to swim away if one side of the yeast cell is too hot or cold, etc. There is no thought processing involved because there is no complex sensory input. Once an organism develops complex sensory input (hearing or sight beyond mere light-sensing) a consciousness is NEEDED to process this sensory input, and consciousness/sentience develops.

If a mushroom is plucked from the ground, chopped up, or eaten, it shows no sign of distress.

“Furthermore, you should keep in mind that a mushroom is not an entire organism. It’s just the fruiting portion of a network of mycelium that lives deep under the ground.”

The act of picking a mushroom is closer to plucking a ripe apple from a tree than killing the tree. Even when the mushrooms are gone, the main body of the fungus continues to grow and thrive. Meaning it’s not the same as in the Animalia kingdom where we all feel pain and suffer

The excerpts below this is in a Guardian post.... And it's hilarious as it's chock full of spelling errors and completely BULL SHIT. The People with a vested interest in turning a profit scream ( I've been taken out of context )

An executive with the international organisation responsible for the Dolphin Safe tuna label, Mark Palmer, has said his comments were taken out of context.

In a scene in the film, Palmer, the associate US director of the International Marine Mammal Project (IMMP), which is operated by the Earth Island Institute, was asked if his group could guarantee that no dolphins were ever killed in any tuna fishery anywhere in the world.

“I answered there are no guarantees in life but that drastically reducing the number of vessels intentionally chasing and netting dolphins as well as other regulations in place, that the number of dolphins that are killed is very low”, he said.

“The film took my statement out of context to suggest that there is no oversight and we don’t know whether dolphins are being killed. That is not true.”
