Bodily autonomy advocates are all hypocrites

This meme is pointing out that some are hypocrites, but is by no means saying that all bodily autonomy advocates are all hypocrites. It is pointing out the hypocrisy of when a person advocates for the bodily autonomy of humans while not caring about the bodily autonomy of other animals.

cows are literally people

I cannot tell where you think that is being implied. You don't have to equate other animals to humans in order to care about them.

    When you're working on your messaging, try to remember that

    Humans are more important than animals.

    Whether you believe it or not, it'll further your goals.

    Humans are more important than other animals exactly in the same way your sibling is more important than a rando in another country.

    The fact you'd pick your sibling before a stranger in a trolley problem doesn't mean you get to exploit, abuse, mistreat them or shoot them for a burger. Same goes for non-human animals.

    Because saying otherwise in your messaging is counterproductive. The people you reach through a social media meme aren't the ones who will respond to that in a way you want.

    The "where do you draw the line" animals one is much better messaging.

    Is your goal to influence people towards your cause or away from it?
