Vegetarians do not eat meat, but eat products derived from animals that do not cause the death of animals, such as milk, cheese, and eggs.  There are cruelty-free dairy products.  Look for brands that treat their animals with a high standard of care.  Some products say "free range," "cage free," and similar claims, but research the producers to make sure they are actually living up to those claims.  Buy from local farmers, producers, and sellers that you know treat their animals with a high standard of care.
