VEDJ: EARTH HATRED
The Vedj consider humans to be utterly contemptible. This stems (pardon the pun) back to last century, when a human diplomatic contingent arrived at the funeral of a great Vedj leader, bearing an offering of cut flowers and fruit baskets. The Vedj also consider the human practice of potting houseplants to be unconscionable. There are rebel movements with plans to infiltrate human society and free the plants. While the Vedj keep non-sentient pet plants, they always let them roam free.
