studies have been conducted on this. according to what i have researched plants do not have a nervous system so they are unable to feel pain. now have you seen the way they kill animals in slaughter houses.

buddhist monks do not eat meat. i read that they go to pet shops and buy thousands of fish and then free them in the ocean.

actually, if you read up on some of temple grandin's work [please pm as the link](i hope that this link is tangential enough to pass through the filter, otherwise just pm me) you will find that, when the killing is done correctly, cattle at least will not feel pain, even while their throats are being cut. it has something to do with the shape of the knofe and where the cut is made, but it is possible to take the animal's life with no apparent suffering.

also, as for the monks, i know that tibetan buddhist monks, at least, will eat meat. a group came to my state some years back to make sand mandalas and ate at least one meal at a local mcdonald's.
