Sikhi actually forbids from killing creatures for pleasure/eating them. Its a matter of individual understanding. Those who want to eat meat will understand gurbani from their own point of view without actually thinking from perspective of gurus who wrote bani.Fundamental understanding:Gurbani says everything is made by same clay, but it also divides living beings into 5 forms based on their awareness of life and activity of 5 elements.Plants and Animals differ in their characteristics, so do Humans/animals/plants/birds. Killing plants incur a karma which have to be paid but it is lesser as compared to killing animals. Even people without much spiritual inclination understand this. Thats why plucking a flower from someones' house does not have that much punishment as is of killing someone's dog or cat , and killing a dog or cat does not have that severe punishment as of killing a person.
