Don't hurt plants!

Don't hurt plants!

Although we are all aware that plants are living things, do we know that they have feelings too? Often we crush them, pull out their leaves, and so on. But they never shout or show any kind of emotion, nor do they express any signs of their feelings. then how can one say that plants have feelings?
Scientists have carried out some experiments to check out whether plants have feelings or not, and you will be surprised when you will read about them. I have mentioned a few of them below.
The scientists used a device similar to a lie detector. A lie detector detects a lie by calculating the hesitation with which a person says a statement and it shows the result on a graph. In the first experiment, a scientist went to a plant, with which the device (which I have mentioned above) was attached. The scientist at first started to say nice things to the plant and started praising the plant. the reading on the graph was normal. Then suddenly the scientist started saying rude things to the same plant and started shouting at it. And surprisingly, the reading on the graph became high!
The second experiment was carried out by a group of scientists. Two plants were placed in a room. Then one scientist from the group was sent in the room. That scientist went to the first plant and destroyed it badly by crushing it. Then he came out. Next, one by one, each scientist went into the room and stood in front of the second plant. The reading on the graph was normal. But as soon as the scientist who had destroyed the first plant came in front of the second plant, the reading on the graph became high! this proves that the plant knew who the man in front of him was.
In the third experiment, several plants were placed in several different rooms, in such a manner that there was one plant in each room. Then diffewrent types of music was played in different rooms. The room isic was being played, the plant had died. However the room in which soft music was being played, the plant had bloomed and infact it was growing towards the source of music.
Hence these experiments prove the point that plants have feelings too. So first of all, I request all of you not to destroy or cause harm to the plants. Secondly, whenever you see anyone destroying the plants or causing harm to them in any way, then just stop him/her from doing so and tell him that these plants have feelings too. And if he/she calls you a madman, then just tell him/her about the experiments I have mentioned above.
