Thank you for sharing that! It's always interesting to hear other's perspective on it. As I have also been eating an omnivore diet before going to plant-based food, I have compassionate for those who still haven't opened themselves up for the truths behind animal agriculture, since this was me at some point.
But I am grateful that I live in a fully vegan household and most of my friends enjoy the plant-based lifestyle so that my contact with such situations has become less and less over the years ;)
Well personally I take time to educate people but if they still choose to be spiciest abusers after they know my compassion goes toward the victims not the perpetrators in this regard. So they will get no sugarcoating from me - Don't get me wrong i have compassion for people but when they do wrong i do not coddle their behaviour I will be more than direct.
