how about the fact that plants are earth lives too? what if we discover they are sentient too?

Let's strongman your "plants feel pain" claim. Then we better go vegan since animal livestock are fed plants, and we could reduce overall plant losses by eating plants directly rather than filtering them through an animal.

That being said, a plant is not sentient. Stabbing a dog and cutting a carrot are not equivalent and if you think they are you need some help.
