... thought it was safe to once again pick up the papers because the Pennsylvania Primary is OVER and both Barry O and Hill C will be off the news at least some of the time, we find even bigger idiots residing in Europe (like that's news.... ed!... Oh shut up). 

Plant "experts" in Switzerland ethicists by trade have decided that it is unethical to mistreat plants just because we are bigger and stronger.

PLANTS deserve respect, a group of Swiss experts says, arguing that killing them arbitrarily is morally wrong - except when it comes to saving humans or maybe picking petals off a daisy.

In a report on "the dignity of the creature in the plant world", the federal Ethics Committee on non-human Gene Technology condemned the decapitation of flowers without reason, among other sins.

Still, commission member Bernard Baertsche suggested the body weighed such cruel acts on a case by case basis, noting "the simple pleasure of picking the petals off a daisy might suffice as a reason".[emphasis added]

OMG... decapitating flowers?  Another reign of terror sponsored by the Robespierre of Mother's and Valentine's Day?

Such Cruelty!

Such Creepiness!

Such Idiocy!

Off With Their Heads!
