Why is it that animal seemed having more rights than plants?

I know this thread is a couple of months old, but this morning while I was clipping coupons, I found the perfect plant for me. It was advertised in the coupon bundle. It is called the Resurrection Plant and will live for 50 years without being watered, so even I probably wouldn’t kill it! 👍

The ad had a website and I was able to find it on there. I don’t know how to embed pics, but here is the link.

Ok, animals have rights but what about plant rights, why is it ok to kill and eat plants, use their corpses as building materials, confine them to pots, burn them just for heat.

Because the closer a thing is to us (in terms of however we perceive it), the more rights we give it. Out of the people that I’ve met here is where the lines get drawn for eating:
  • You can’t eat what would be considered a pet (like a dog), but beef/pork/chicken is ok
  • No beef and/or pork, chicken is ok
  • No land animal, but fish are ok
  • No animals, but plants are ok
All the people who thought plants weren’t ok to eat died off.
