I have a theory*.
It assumes you believe in karma and reincarnation.
Today on this planet there are more people alive then there have be humans in the past. So, there is a shortage of souls to go around. Even if every dog, cat and titsy fly got stuffed into a human body there's still a shortage, so what next? That's right, plants! I'm sure I worked with a fern in the past. No personality and was only interested in fiding someone to settledown with and live a 'normal' life and reproduce. Pretty much the same modus operandi of any flora I'm aware of.
So we get these people that are bereft of human souls and human personalities and thus they try to fill that void with the lives of others.
* Alchohal may have been involved.
