    You could say the same thing about a picture of a cow with the text “Cows have feelings. Stop killing cows.”

    Yes, you could.

    heavy-handed vegan propaganda

    No such thing, only carnists desperate not to acknowledge their unethical behavior.

      I don’t think carnists are desperate, they just don’t care. They don’t view it as unethical.

      You can try explaining to someone the harms of the meat industry from an environmental standpoint, an animal rights standpoint, a food security standpoint, a worker’s rights standpoint, and some may be amenable with the right amount of convincing.

      But trying to bludgeon someone into compliance through shaming and demanding them to change is heavy-handed. And especially when carnists are in the majority, it’s not likely to be effective either
