Oh that’s an interesting wrinkle. It’s vegan if consumed by the infant for whom it was made (or willingly donated).
What if I sell my milk to a body builder just so I have a little pocket money? Not an exorbitant amount of milk or money, and it’s something I willingly do without any coercion. Vegan then?

As long as you’re doing it of your own free will without taking it away from your child, yes, probably. There is consent involved.
But if your breast milk gets mixed into a batch that was produced from selected specimens who produce extraordinarily high volume of milk, impregnated with their babies taken away, tied to machines and milked in filthy conditions, kept alive by being fed antibiotics every day… Yeah you get me.
Human milk could have potential to be more ethical than any other milk.
Hyperlactation happens in human beings, as well as another condition where lactation is locked as a permanent bodily function.
It can be extremely painful and regularly extracting the fluid is the best way to relieve the pressure. Medication can help but events where the lactation process re-emerged have happened.
Lactation can also be triggered without need for impregnation in humans.
