"ETHICISTS" WORRY ABOUT GREEN PLANTS

Plants must be respected, and it's a matter of morality:
PLANTS deserve respect, a group of Swiss experts says, arguing that killing them arbitrarily is morally wrong - except when it comes to saving humans or maybe picking petals off a daisy.

In a report on "the dignity of the creature in the plant world", the federal Ethics Committee on non-human Gene Technology condemned the decapitation of flowers without reason, among other sins.

Still, commission member Bernard Baertsche suggested the body weighed such cruel acts on a case by case basis, noting "the simple pleasure of picking the petals off a daisy might suffice as a reason".
So, he-loves-me-he-loves-me-not is okay. What a relief!

On a more serious note, I wonder if that same group of "Swiss experts" is at all concerned about beheadings perpetrated by Moslems.

AMAZING!

and idiotic.

leftists are INSANE!

another example: on a nyc rickshaw, an ad promoting rickshaw's as CO2/"greenhouse gas" NEUTRAL --- AS IF THE RICKSHAW PEDDLER DIDN'T EXHALE!!!

in the leftist's fantasy world, abortions are humane and picking flowers and eating lettuce are crimes.

and co2 is a pollutant.

and global jihad a myth of the right.

infreakinsane!

The narcissus are blooming in my yard, and tonight I beheaded a few and put them on display in my living room.

Will the "plant ethicists" hunt me down now?
