Because they love life all life Answer: Buddhists are not all vegetarians. In some countries such as Tibet where there was not a lot of food Buddhists ate meat regularly. In addition if a Buddhist is offered any type of food he is required to eat it. The Buddha himself supposedly dies after eating tainted pork offered to him. He is constrained however from eatin the flesh of raptors and carnivores. He cannot require that an animal be slaughtered for his meal.

First off, not all Buddhists are vegetarians. The Buddhists do not have prohibitions and a person's choices are their own concern. In some countries such as Tibet there is not enough vegetable food, animals must be eaten. Buddhist monks are required to eat whatever food is provided to them, this includes meat. The Buddha himself is said to have died from eating spoiled pork presented to him. A general constraint is that a Buddhist should not ask that an animal be killed for his meal.

Those Buddhists who do choose to be vegetarians do so to prevent doing harm to sentient beings. Others choose this diet for its supposedly healthier nature.

In keeping with the fact that Buddhism makes suggestions for your life and does not control it, there is no "order" not to eat meat. Buddhist monks are often but not always vegetarians. Some need to eat meat as no other food is available. In addition the monks are required to eat whatever food is given to them. the Buddha himself is said to have died after eating a meal of bad pork offered to him.
