I have tried vegetarian diet for a couple of years but never tried vegan diet. Sometimes my plate consists of vegan food but that is purely unintentional.

Personally, no, I do not believe this. I believe that food animals can be not harmful to the environment when/if properly & humanely managed.
I won't claim to know what's right or wrong, but I do believe that many people today consume an excessive amount of meat in their daily diets, neglecting other essential foods like vegetables.
In my upbringing, meat was primarily reserved for weekend meals, and even then, it wasn't as abundant as it seems to be for most people nowadays.
While I can't imagine myself becoming a vegan entirely, I do enjoy honey and other non-vegan products, I could easily adopt a vegetarian lifestyle if I chose to.
However, I don't see anything necessarily bad with consuming meat, it's just a matter of moderation. I believe in balance.

What most people consider a "vegan" is actually only halfway there.
