@@TheVeganVicar i think you misunderstood my comment. But secondly, everything you listed in your second paragraph about meta-ethics was actually about normative ethics, not meta-ethics. Secondly, no-your meta-ethics, in my view at least, is not all that important most of the time.

Animals have more rights than live babies in their mother's womb. Where will animals have membership? At the local zoo?

They don't necessarily have any rights. They're allowed to be picked up and slammed against the ground, or dropped in blenders or cut up into pieces in the backyard. They'd have the same rights as humans, to have bodily autonomy and freedom to not be enslaved and killed.
