You can err on the safe side without including literally every animal. Maybe dolphins are sapient, idk, we can give them rights (or really just leave them alone). But cows are far enough away from sapience.
That's a disagreement over whether sapience or sentience is what matters. Neither point is morally superior and believing yours shouldn't be required of others. And yeah, if you believe it's sentience then eating meat would be bad.
