I am a Buddhist from Sri Lanka. Where on earth are you getting this stuff about us being vegetarians?

You clearly don't know the region half as well as you think you do.

All the Buddhists I've met told me that they're vegetarians because they believe animals also have souls and they could be reincarnated as one.

But they were mostly Tibetan or Thai Buddhists. Most of my experience is indeed from Thailand and India.

Ah yes, so all Sri Lankan buddhists must be vegetarian.

Mate, <50% of India is vegetarian.
