Uhhhhhh, what?!?

Are you asking for a list? Are you asking about the morality of killing plants? Are you casting judgment on others? What are you asking?

In that context, it’s by changing the plants habitat. Changing forest, for example, into farm land.

How about by mowing your lawn? Or hand pulling them, or digging them up, or using herbicides, or….

I’m really hoping this isn’t a homework question.

Pollution.

Crappy movies, fast food, too much base and Hillary Clinton.

Round them up, corral them, drive them into the slaughterhouse, stun them, slit their stalks, skin them, process, package, and ship.

@jeffgoldblumsprivatefacilities But mowing doesn’t kill the grass, merely maims it.

@syz Touche. But it does prevent them from going to seed, thus killing plants who haven’t even sprouted yet. ~

Still wondering what’s going on in this Q.

Fire would work but I like plants and wouldn’t want to destroy them capriciously.

I didn’t mean to. I just forgot to water it.

@jeffgoldblumsprivatefacilities I suppose if you are a member of the catholic church, that could technically count as the “murder” of the yet unfertilized and unborn.

Man does not destroy plants.

Plants need to stop smoking and eating fatty foods.

I think this genetic modification of plants is pretty messed up. They now make the seeds so the seeds of the plant won’t reproduce. Now not only do we have pharmaceuticals showing up in our drinking water we can now also welcome genetically modified genes into our bodies! Sorry Mother Nature you are now Modified Mother Nature!
