How can that be known... the eye can only see movements within a

certain range.

Certainly not the way plants are used by most vegans and

vegetarians. Carrots are pulled up "whole" from the ground (so are

potatoes), and rarely, a head of lettuce is eaten a leaf or two at a

time.

i knew about dispersing the seeds, but not about the first part.

Certainly, if a fruit is not eaten it will rot and enrich the soil,

thus providing nourishment for the growing seeds -- very much in the

way a cow provides nourishment for her calves.

How will the soil be fertilized? Of course, the adapted toilet

manners might do it <laugh>.

As a "blanket statement" (applying to all humans and 'animals'), i

don't agree with that. But the ancient conditioning: "Humans are the

most advanced/'highest' animal species" is responsible for more

damage, harm and killing than all the rest of conditioning added

together.

Mentioned often enough on the lists, somebody must care <laugh>.
