Vegetarians who drink milk are called Lacto-vegetarians (that's how they want to classify themselves).
Milk is not vegan, however. Vegans eat no animal products at all.
Milk is produced for calves of Cows/Buffalos. So, thinking rationally you could only classify it as non-veg. Secondly they are proteins from living body, synthesized by living body and contains ANIMAL FAT.
Let us look at the composition of milk:
About 98% of milk fat is a mixture of triacyl glycerides. There are also neutral lipids, fat-soluble vitamins and pigments (e.g. carotene, which gives butter its yellow colour), sterols and waxes. Fats supply the body with a concentrated source of energy: oxidation of fat in the body yields 9 calories/g. Milk fat acts as a solvent for the fat-soluble vitamins A, D, E and K and also supplies essential fatty acids (linoleic, linolenic and arachidonic).
And most vegetarians say, animals are not harmed while harvesting milk so it could be called vegetarian. But its just a bad argument, if i suck 50 ml of blood from a goats body with a needle, not causing much pain or harm to the life of that goat and then drink it, will it make the blood vegetarian?
Its clearly non-vegetarian. And, anyone who call themselves vegetarian and drink milk could be called an hypocrite. We are just omnivorous social animals.

∙ 14y agoAfter a cow gives birth to a male calf it is taken from his mother and gets slaughtered for veal. When a cow can no longer produce milk it is sent to the slaughter house. Day old male chicks are killed. When chickens stop laying they are killed. Chickens lead lives full of suffering.

∙ 13y agoNot all vegetarians believe eggs are non- vegetarian. Some vegetarians avoid eating eggs because they believe they are eating a baby chicken (which is incorrect, since none of the eggs in supermarkets are fertilized; laying chickens are always kept separate from cockerel's to avoid fertilized eggs). Buddhist vegetarians avoid eating eggs because they symbolise rebirth, rather than the belief that they would actually grow into baby chickens.

∙ 11y agoThere are many kinds of vegetarians. Some eat eggs and dairy products. Those types of vegetarians are known as "Ovo-Lacto Vegetarians." There are also vegetarians, known as vegans, who eat no animal products, whatsoever, including eggs, dairy, and honey. Many vegetarians give up eggs because of the known suffering that exists within the egg industry, and some vegetarians give up eggs for health reasons.
