Animals are awesome! They can communicate and form social bonds, while plants are just, well, plants. Animals can move, hunt, and play, making them more dynamic and interesting than plants that just sit there. Sure, plants are cool and provide us with oxygen, but animals are just on another level. If you ask me, animals are definitely better than plants!

No. Plants are better than animals because they suffer less. Plants experience less physical pain. Plants have less thoughts and consciousness, both of which cause more suffering than simply physical pain.

Also, plants cause less harm to others.
