Greens Mowing
Can I mow my lawn if I have a vegan diet?
I am becoming very conscious of my vegan diet. I read a scientific study that said that grass actually has feelings and is stressed when it is cut. If I am a vegan can I mow my lawn in good conscious? I may not be murdering the precious blades of grass but I would be torturing hundreds of thousands of my new green friends. What do I do? There is a town ordinance that will fine me if I don’t cut my grass. Is it morally right for city hall to demand that I torture my grass? What would a good vegan do?
I don’t think it’s the lawn that’s the problem here. As others have written, the grass actually thrives after a good trim. Pulling grass up by the roots would destroy it, yet clipping it would not.
Similarly, practitioners of Jainism will not eat root vegetables because it kills the plant, but will eat whatever can preserve the life of the plant from which they eat.
But you are overlooking all of the other organisms you are trampling every time you mow your lawn. What about the ants, grubs, weevils and other bugs that live in your lawn? What about the moles, mice, voles, and others who have burrowed into your lawn?
For that matter what about the billions of microscopic organisms that you vanquish every time you cut your grass? Or every time you take a step? Or what about the ones that are in the air you breathe?
Just being alive causes violence to other beings.
