Comic Strips is a community for those who love comic stories.
The rules are simple:
- The post can be a single image, an image gallery, or a link to a specific comic hosted on another site (the author's website, for instance).
- The comic must be a complete story.
- If it is an external link, it must be to a specific story, not to the root of the site.
- You may post comics from others or your own.
- If you are posting a comic of your own, a maximum of one per week is allowed (I know, your comics are great, but this rule helps avoid spam).
- The comic can be in any language, but if it's not in English, OP must include an English translation in the post's 'body' field (note: you don't need to select a specific language when posting a comic).
- Politeness.
- Adult content is not allowed. This community aims to be fun for people of all ages.

Indeed. Many plants even bear fruit that is intended to be eaten. I don't think any animals intend to be eaten. Fruit is specifically supposed to look and taste good, so that animals eat it and crap out the seeds elsewhere. Even edible leaves are beneficial, as the animals leave fertiliser (more shit).
Though, to say the plant wants to be eaten would be a stretch. There's no evidence of a thought process, it's entirely developed just from evolutionary gain. Animals, however, do think.
Have you considered that certain parts of a plant wouldn't feel pain if plants can feel pain just like we don't feel pain when cutting our hair for example even though our hair is a part of us
