If someone said that they do, how would you as a scientist respond? We know how vertebrates feel pain, we have nerves that send electrical impulses to our brains. Some invertebrates have similar but less sophisticated decentralized nervous "systems," so it is possible that they feel pain. Plants do not have nerve tissue, nor do they have any analog to the concentrated batch of nerve tissue that we call "brains." We have been dissecting plants for centuries and we have never found a tissue that can transmit specific data in a timely manner. Reactions to sunlight, for example, proceed very slowly and are purely local. So how exactly can a plant "feel" anything? To suggest that it does is an extraordinary assertion, which according to the scientific method requires extraordinary substantiation before we are obliged to take it seriously. In order to assert that a plant can feel pain, one must first explain how a plant can feel anything.
