do the trees feel pain?

Answer 1

Read this carefully-
PAIN, i shud first define it.....pain wat we feel is a physiological 'sense' which is transported to the brain and it makes us feel pain (bad feeling) because it wants us to move away from the thing inducing pain, as it has a potential of harming us.....
PLANTS, have no nervous system like ours, neither any locomotry organ that can respond quickly, and no good brain to think so much.....so feeling pain will be of no use to them....they cant do anything about it.....(but we can, like we move away, crouch, etc.....)
BUT they know or perceive that some change has occured.example- if i put a cut on the stem of a tree, it will perceive it, as a physiological disturbance or distortion....then it will try to HEAL IT.....THINK URSELF, IF THE TREE NEVER 'KNEW' OR 'FELT' THAT IT WAS CUT AT SOME PLACE, HOW WOULD IT HEAL ITSELF?
JC Bose, an indian scientist had proved this with some experiments, and instruments, which he had invented himself....so its DEFINITE, that plants do "feel".....

Answer 2

Tree Pain

Answer 3

Trees do not feel pain. They respond to their environment, as do all living things, but their sensory systems aren't developed enough to have an immediate response that you or I would describe as pain. If you cut a limb from a tree it doesn't immediately bend away, but responds to the loss by sealing off the xylem and phloem at the cut, and possibly by dying, if the limb were big enough in relation to the trunk size. Trees also respond to light, gravity, food (fertilising chemicals such as sulphates and phosphates), water and wind. Trees have evolved to respond to things that affect them, just as animals have. Sound does not affect them, and so they do not respond to sound. Sound DOES affect many animals, and so they respond to sound, often immediately. So don't bother playing Mozart to your plants; they can't hear.

Answer 4

wood have not got a concepts or crucial nervous equipment. you like NERVES to sense actual discomfort, a minimum of discomfort as we know it. locate out approximately discomfort and how it is felt, then you certainly won't sense so undesirable for the wood. I agree, scaling down wood isn't a sturdy element, yet they don't sense discomfort. There are soooooo many different issues you're able to desire to hardship approximately and honestly carry out a little sturdy! consistent with danger enable your sensitivity artwork in direction of combating starvation or animal abuse. purely a tenet.

Answer 5

Yes A tree is living an therefore does feel pain when its cut down or mistreated, because a tree cannot talk does not mean it cannot feel. Trees and plants will grow/thrive more when you talk to them or play certain types of music.

Answer 6

I think so but then again I have been called a Tree Hugger because I love trees

Answer 7

They don't even have central nervousness. But nature feels pain as trees are destroyed!

Answer 8

strictly speaking since plants have no means of communication with humans and,to paraphrase Wittgenstein,"if a plant could talk we would not understand it",we cannot definitively say whether plants do or do not feel pain.Having said that it seems reasonable to suggest that in order to experience pain their has to be a subject of that experience and since plants by any account lack any experience of "Qualia" or "inner" subjectivity then it is reasonable to suggest they do not feel pain.

Answer 9

Yes

Answer 10

I believe that everything on the earth feels pain. Trees do bleed, their sap weeps out when they are cut, so to seal a wound they have sap. It is probably buried right at their core because you always count the rings on inside of their trunks to find out how old the tree was before it was cut down so maybe their brains are attached to their roots.
