Why I am not a vegan

[anagogy]

Abolitionists weren't slaves; they were the people who worked to free the slaves. They raised awareness, they freed slaves, they smuggled them to safety, they championed them, they even fought for them. That's hardly 'ignoring injustice.' Quite the contrary!

Well I'm interested in the slave's perspective (since we are in a "veganism" thread talking about animals). So it's really irrelevant who was who.

You aren't listening. I already said they didn't instantaneously move from "focusing on being slaves" to "focusing on being free".

All that "raising awareness" was just a dog and pony show to move from point A to point B. The real power came from where they focused and believed. But you can tell the story how you like if it makes you feel better.
