Because people are not necessarily very consistent or introspective, I don't think it does. The habit of compartmentalization means people can on one hand advocate compassion and on the other turn a blind eye to and even defend violence. Look at anti-war activists who consume meat; one compassion doesn't always lead to more.

However, that said, any sphere of life where compassion can win over violence is one step in the right direction. Veganism is a very important step.
