Vegitable Rights
Vegitable Rights are uncommonly understood as "the inalienable, fundamental rights to which the 'vegitible' (the corrected spelling of "vegetable", per Eric Podd) body, the vegitative self, is inherently entitled simply by their existing", conceived as universal and egalitarian by the activists who make the claims. Presently, there are no laws relating to the rights of plant self-determination in any known statues, though some moderates within the movement claim great progress in the area of environmental protection. Vegitible rights activists frequently make strong claims, viz the inhumanity of consuming plants (refer "WOE TO YOU, O VEGAN, KILLER OF VEGETATION!"), often in the face of considerable skepticism about the content, nature, and justifications of vegitible rights. Indeed, the question of what is meant by a "right" is itself controversial and the subject of continued philosophical debate.
