Same with cats.

The following is from the Vegan Society definition of veganism, "In dietary terms it denotes the practice of dispensing with all products derived wholly or partly from animals"

Humans are animals, so I assumed that breast milk is included in this definition.
Assume away. However you can't ask a cow's permission and cows are artificially induced to be in that state. I have many vegan friends and some fruitarian aquaintances and all their babies are breastfeed. Only an idiot would argue that this is not right. And yes, there are some idiots about. As seen here.
