killing plants is worse than killing animals

animals produce methane while plants are producing oxygen...

Plants absorb CO2 while animals and humans leave there carbon foot/hoof prints. :'(

Agriculture is CO2-neutral.

I don't think so. If you consider the tens of thousands of square miles of forest that have been clear cut to make room for farmland, I think agriculture has been a disaster as far as CO2 goes.

True I guess, but once the forest has been cut, harvesting crops does not release additional CO2 into the atmosphere.

As long as it's done by hand.

What about killing humans, who produce CO2?

Doesn't biodiesel still release C02 when you burn it?

Yes, but the CO2 has been extracted from the atmosphere shorly before burning since you need to grow some bio-material to make the diesel first.

Plant-killing should be a hate crime
