G'day JK,
You can imbibe safely as it is made from herbs.
Jägermeister (German for master of the hunt in the sense of "expert" or "committed" hunter, see Jäger) is a strong (70-proof; 35%) liqueur flavored with herbs (similar to Danish stomach bitters such as Gammel Dansk, the Hungarian Unicum, or Czech liqueur Becherovka ). The exact list of the 56 herbs used is kept secret. Although licorice is a major component of its flavor, it is not as predominant in Jägermeister as it is in true licorice-flavored liqueurs. Contrary to urban legends, Jägermeister contains neither deer blood nor opium.
However, the emblem is problematic for a vegan. The Jägermeister logo, the head of a stag with a glowing cross between the antlers, is a reference to the story of Saint Hubert. On the edge of the label of a Jägermeister bottle, the following poem by Otto von Riesenthal is printed:
Das ist des Jägers Ehrenschild,
daß er beschützt und hegt sein Wild,
weidmännisch jagt, wie sich's gehört,
den Schöpfer im Geschöpfe ehrt.
In English:
This is the hunter's badge of honor,
that he protect and nourish his game,
hunt sportingly, as is proper,
and honor the Creator in creation.
Or, slightly more loosely but preserving rhyme and meter:
This is the hunter's badge of glory:
That he protects and tends his quarry,
Hunts with honor, as is due,
And through the beast to God is true.
However, I'd ignore it.
I have attached sources for your reference.
Regards

Jagermeister, is a alcoholic liqueur that was first made in 1935 in Wolfenbuttel, Germany. The name Jagermeister means "a master-hunter." That is why Saint Ubert, protector of hunters, is the deer symbol on the label. This drink is a mixture of 56 plants, roots, and fruit peels, that is matured for 12 months. No. Deer's blood is not an ingredient.

They contain butter milk. I've been considering to go vegan but cutting things like this out of my diet is difficult.

No, there is no blood in Jagermeister. It's just fermented herbs and spices.

I have never heard that. That's really gross if it is true (doubtful). Luckily for me I've only tried it once and I don't think I really liked it!
