They don’t have a brain really and kinda just float there. Do they even feel pain?

    Don’t most plants sense light and interact with their environment?

    Tardigrades have been observed reacting defensively to danger, even offensively. I know they’re not plants, but do they feel pain? What about brine shrimp?

    Jellyfish are super weird because they really blur the lines between plant/animal. It’s a really interesting question to ask honestly.
