Sikhi, Meat And Animals

[SinghInTraining]

Hey can someone help me understand what is the reason that Sikhs don't eat meat? At first I thought it was because we think its wrong to take life but this cant be true because we have used animal products throughout out history (e.g. The skin on the drum in the gurudwara, the goat skin water pouch that Bhai Kanhaiya used to give water to fallen Mughals on the battle field) Im sure there are many more examples. So can someone please explain what is the reason that we don't eat meat? Please can you support your ideas with quotes from gurbani if possible otherwise they are just opinions.

Thankyou :biggrin2:
