People for the Ethical Treatment of Plants (PETP), with its couple thousand members and supporters, is the largest plant rights organization in the world. Founded in 2006, PETP is dedicated to establishing and protecting the rights of all plants. PETP operates under the simple principle that plants are not ours to eat, wear, experiment on, or use for entertainment.

PETP focuses its attention on the four areas in which the largest numbers of plants suffer the most intensely for the longest periods of time: on factory farms, in laboratories, in the clothing trade, and in the entertainment industry. We also work on a variety of other issues, including the cruel killing of vegetables, trees and other "pests," and the abuse of grass.

PETP works through public education, cruelty investigations, research, plant rescue, legislation, special events, celebrity involvement, and protest campaigns.

Why Plant Rights?

Almost all of us grew up eating plants, wearing cotton, going to farmers' markets, and building tree houses. We never considered the impact of these actions on the plants involved. For whatever reason, you are now asking the question: Why should plants have rights? Learn More.

Now on PETP's Blog

This is the first news post for PETP's new blog. We are sick of all the vegetarians promoting their sick views on the rest of the world about how we should all eat poor helpless plants. Animals have the ability to at least run or protect themselves. Plants do not. Plants sit quietly as they are mutilated, destroyed, and have their flesh gnawed upon by these heartless vegetarians. Just because plants aren't cute and furry or dont make gruesome noises when they are hurt, it doesn't mean they aren't hurting. (cont.).

Message from President Steven Bawtinhamster
----
On June 3rd, 2008, the PETP Foundation held its third annual meeting in San Francisco to address the ongoing state of plant rights. Over 2,000 supporters were in attendance for the beautifully catered three-day event. Our esteemed colleague and PETP president, Prof. Steven Bawtinhamster of Kettering University, supplied the year's keynote address concerning our struggle for plant rights. Working extensively with the flora of South America (mainly touching and smelling them, but also hearing at times) for over six years, he's travelled far and wide through the Amazon on a journey to commune with nature and listen to its plight.

"When homo sapiens were mutating towards agriculture and the written word, there were more crimes than mere slavery and brutality. Domestication of certain animals pales in comparison with the horrid act of kingdocyde.

That is correct, while we once recognized the supreme love inherent in plants now we callously call them nonsentient and servile! Surely this isn't the pure path to gnostic bliss! How can we sail space ship Earth to the mystical Oz galaxy without the friendship of our betters, the photosynthetic lifeforms?

People shouldn't eat plants, they should express themselves to them. You see, plants just don't talk because they don't have mouths. They are painfully shy. They need to get to know us before they speak their wisdom, and they know we've been systematically eliminating (kingdocyde!) their kind for thousands of years.

Start the love! End the madness!

Rub yourselves lovingly on oak trees. Tree hugging is a start, but tree LOVING is a skill we really need to learn. For instance, instead of a sponge, use a branch. Instead of weeding your garden, (as if you were perverted enough to have a harem like that) pick caterpillars off your trees. Consider perhaps going to the plant metropolis of South America! Clothe yourself in leafy camouflage and strangle those sinister jungle-burners!

Animals, fungi, protiste, bacteria, and virii are all in a terrifying conspiracy against the 'slow kid' of life class. Fuck that shit! Let's pollinate some minds and grow a revolution!"
