I switched between vegan/vegetarianism for 7 years and I'm omnivorous now but still eat a lot of plant food. I think animal husbandry and slaughter is ok provided we're not wasteful (which we are) and we genuinely care for the animals while they're alive (which often, we don't - particularly in some instances, like cage eggs, sow crates, veal, foie gras, etc.) It isn't good for them or us, to mistreat them or not take their life with some sense of regret and gratitude.
