"Eat and be eaten" is a rule quite as prevalent in the vegetable world as among animals. Plants compete with each other for advantages of soil and situation quite as generally as animals, and are as mutually destructive. Yet I daresay we shall all agree that it would be folly to regard this internecine struggle as any part of the world's evil. There are, no doubt, very remarkable analogies between the two kingdoms.

But, so far as I am aware, nobody has ever seriously pretended to have found any reason to suppose that any single member of the vegetable kingdom is susceptible to pain, or that anything at all corresponding to the suffering of animal life results from the mutual, destruction of plants. Whether the vegetable world would be better or worse, more beautiful or less, without the competitive struggle that manifestly goes on in it may be dubious, but in the light of our present knowledge it seems reasonable to believe that while that struggle serves to evolve higher and better forms, greater usefulness and beauty for the benefit of the higher life of the animal world, it is wholly unattended by any kind of evil.
