Do you agree with Richard Dawkins?

By demonstrating the effects of adverse conditions, which they do, constantly. I think you mean to say "How would a plant suffer like we suffer?" Simply defining away the "rights" of other living creatures because they are different, good for you. I can accomplish a similar end in fewer steps. Nothing has any "innate rights". I'm scot free to eat bacon now correct?

Haha. You are free to eat bacon whenever. Just don't you ever try to restrict my ability to not eat bacon.

A carrot's suffering is not meaningful in the sense that there is actually a nervous system to experience pain and discomfort. It does not have a nervous system period. How would it suffer or experience discomfort. There is a different between "effects of adverse conditions" and suffering. Once again the issue is not with "living" creatures it's with sentient creatures.
