oh worry not, those are just the animals from the Grand Galloping Gala that rejected Fluttershy’s love :v

no love for Fluttershy? You fry! :L

Welp, it happens

@RC29
it’s good, I’m just drawing a comparison here, and besides we have more in common to plants then you think, like some cell organelles, cell division (which is vital for growth), and being able to breathe as well (considering that they breathing in Co2 instead).

@Background Pony #833B
well that’s cause she was in a human body at the time.

@Shimmering Spectacle
its because most animals in equestria are just as intelligent as ponies not to the same level but still would you eat an apple if you know that the apple was an intelligent life form like us? I also think she might just feel guilty for not only eating meat but enjoying it.

@Shimmering Spectacle
Excuse me for my bluntness, but I believe you missed the point of this entirely…

I admittingly have never really watched the original G5 show, but I’m pretty sure all animals live sorta like in Zootopia, where every species has equality.
In Equestria Girls, it more relates to humanity.

So therefore UNFORTUNATELY, other types of animals are not nearly as “protected” of sorts, being tortured and slaughtered by humans on the regular due to, 1: Economy greed, 2: Consumer gluttony along with laziness to not change their dietary, 3: Ignorant/irrational religious views on the matter, etcetera.

A couple more things: Yes, plants are living, however, taking a bit of it, whether it be the leaves, fruits or stem will NOT kill it or be painfully inflicted, due to them not having brains or nervous systems. Whatever is picked off will grow back relatively soon as well.

You’d have to pretty much COMPLETELY remove its roots from the ground in order to kill it (Which I do NOT in the slightest condone.).
Unlike if you take a chunk of a cow, pig, chicken and others, which is EXCRUCIATING, most likely will NOT regenerate and who can also bleed to death.

Lastly: Pretty much any carnivorous living organism consumes others because it is CRUCIAL to staying alive and most likely don’t comprehend the horrific consequences it has for the prey…
But with humans, unless the individual has a neurological condition, that being examples such as Autism, whether it’s Low OR High-Functioning, is Retarded (I ONLY use this term for its scientifical term purpose, please NEVER use it as an insult/negative comment.) and plenty of other conditions that are not any less important, or a mental illness such as Schizophrenia,that is COMPLETELY not the case.

Real-world examples are if someone is homeless or in extreme poverty. Restaurants, either dine in OR fast food, grocery stores, local markets and other businesses can implement vegan alternatives, which could, can and WOULD, become the normal if we ALL play a part in it.

Alrighty, I believe I’ve covered everything I wanted to. My apologies for such a long comment/reply.

夭寿啦 暮光闪闪吃肉了！！！

well horses are eating plants that has the same DNA as animals do, plus horses will eat meat if they have to, just to get any protein out of it, they can handle it in small chunks only, so what difference does this make?

AHAHAHAHAHAH LOL
