if trees could talk and scream would we still cut down the rainforest?

Answer 1

Of course we would!! We slaughter pigs and cows for food and I'm sure they scream. The human race is not the kindest

Answer 2

some Native American believe that they do feel and that they have spirits,but their screams are silent,and their words are unheard ,they live in a different time frame than us ,some can get to be a thousand years,maybe a word from a tree will take a year to be said ,

.The north american indians ,dance around a tree singing that they are going to kill it,they then quickly turn around and chop its neighbour down,taking it by suprise.
this suggest that they believe the tree has feelings.

Plants belonging to people with green fingers ,who talk to their plants ,are proven to do better.

There once was a famouse experiment,wherby 7 people walked into a room where there was a big plant,that was wired up to a lie detector.
One of the people had a knife and cut some parts of the plant.
then later when the péople were brought before the plant again,the lie detector gave a violent leap in its readings ,when the person with the knife was brought before it.
the same experiment was done with trees and in all cases the same result.
so who says who has feelings or souls.and they did scream electronically

Answer 3

Probably because humanity is cruel. People are supposed to chop trees to use the wood, and cut plants to eat the crop, the problem is that people don't know when to stop. If trees could scream, would that mean every time you chop off a tomato from a vine to eat it that it would scream too? People just need to be more educated thats all.

Answer 4

All these pet enthusiasts would consider trees as pets and would resort to crimes to stop the cutting down of rainforests....we would still need to though.

Answer 5

Probably. Think of all the torture that animals get from humans! If they are willing to torture animals, wouldn't it be reasonable to think that they would torture trees? Anyways, trees cannot scream, talk, or feel, so we do not have to worry about hurting the trees, we just need to worry about global warming.

Answer 6

Sure, most animals would scream if they are shot and not instantly killed. That doesn't stop people from killing them, never will. It happens, I don't think we should cut as many trees down as I do, but I do use paper products... as do most people.

Answer 7

Well,I would say no if the people who cut them down aren't like the people who like torturing people and other life forms.But,yes if they are like that.I hope that's a good enough answer for you,because I have to go.

Answer 8

No, but I cannot be sure.
The farmers in South America are very poor.
I believe it is mostly a question of survival.

I cannot speak for the lady above from California.

Answer 9

um...if trees could talk and scream...i'd lay off the LSD

but seriously, i don't think it would make a difference. animals make noise and people still kill them, right? *shrug* what's the difference?

Answer 10

If they could talk and scream we could still cut them down. If they could move and swing their branches we wouldn't be able to. lmao
