Both.

And I'm not sure. The 2 have always gone together because those "moral theories" have played a big role in forming my moral intuitions, if that makes sense.

Even I wouldn't take it that far. Plants are not sentient i.e. they cannot feel.

I agree, but we still shouldn't go around destroying forests, etc, for the hell of it.

"Of course, everyone will claim they respect someone who tries to speak the truth, but in reality, this is a rare quality. Most respect those who speak truths they agree with, and their respect for the speaking only extends as far as their realm of personal agreement. It is less common, almost to the point of becoming a saintly virtue, that someone truly respects and loves the truth seeker, even when their conclusions differ wildly."
