Ok, I thought my question was ambiguous, sorry. I mean: which of animals sensations can be defined as unpleasant? Who will define that?

The sensations one would feel while having a limb sawn off, whether they be human or otherwise, would be sufficient to call unpleasant. I guess I'm talking about the capacity for such unpleasant sensations as opposed to experiencing them being the criteria for which a being is judged.

So, what kind of living beings are you refering to? Only the ones that posses meat in their body structure?

Yes. I'm talking about living beings for who we have reason to believe can experience pain.

I don't think you have. Unless your point is that people eat what they eat, which was obvious anyway.

I really don't see your point. I may not have a backup to say plants have feelings, but do you have one to prove they don't?

My point is that you can say anything you like, but there's no point in using claims such as "plants have feelings" as a basis for an argument when scientific evidence points to the contrary. I can say with confidence that plants don't have feelings. Feelings are associated with the nervous system. Plants don't have a nervous system, so we can safely say that plants don't have feelings. Unless you have reasons for us to believe otherwise, why bring it up? You could spew forth any number of similar claims, but the burden of proof would always rest on you.
