If you have a copy of the Amrit Keertan Pothee, you may want to turn to the pages from 656 to 659 and you will see their shabads by Bhagat Kabir Ji, Bhai Gurdas Ji as well as well as Guru Nanak Dev Ji and Guru Arjan Dev ji, which are depicting "sab jeean te deya karnee". (Have compassion for all living things)
Here are a few sloks which outrightly prohibits meat comsumption.
Kabeer jeea ju maraih jor kar, kaihte hai jo halaal
daftar daee jab kaaDh hai, hoigaa koan havaal.//199// (1375.G.G.S.)
Sayeth Kabir, sayeth thou by "forcefully" killing living beings, Halaal.
When in God's house, your accounts be taken, what will then there happen to you!
Kabeer jor keeaa su julam hai, lay-e jabaab khudaae
daftar lekhaa neeksai, maar muhai muh khaae.//200// (1375)
Sayeth Kabir, using force is unlawful, God shall question this.
when your accounts will be opened, you shall reap on your face a God's wrath.
Bed Kateb kahaih mat jhootey, jhootaa jo naa bichaarai,
jo sabh mai ek khudaae kahait ho, tio kio murgee marai?! (1350)
Do not say that the vedas are false, false are those who do not reflect.
If in all is one God, then why does one kill the hen!
Kabeer bhang mashalee suraapaan, jo jo pranee khaan-he
teerath barat neym kee-ey, te sabh rasaatal jaan-he (1377)
suraapaan=alcohol rasaatal=below hell, underground.
Those people who drink bhang, eat fish, drink alcohol,
and do ritual bathing, keep fast, all shall be burried underground.
Kabeer khoob khaanaa kheecharee, jaa mai amrit loon,
heyraa rotee kaarney, galaa kataavai kaon! (1378)
heyraa=meat by hunting
Sayeth Kabir, that the best food is eating, kichree=dals where nectar-sweet
is the salt.
You eat hunted meat, but which animal is willing to have their head cut?!
Jeea badh-hu su dharam kar thaaphu, adharam kaih-hu kat bhaaee.
Aapas kao munivar kar thaphu, ka kao kaih-hu kaasaaee? (1102-1103)
munivar-saintly people kaasaaee-butchers badh-hu=killing
On killing animals you have created your religion (the path of righteousness),
then my brother what do we say is not religion (righteousness?)
You call yourself, saintly people, then who do we call butchers?!
There are many more as well by Bhai Gurdas ji,
Var 31 pouRee 9
je kasaaee udhariaa, jeea ghaae na khaaeeaa bhungaa.
Just because the Guru has saved the butcher,
that does not mean that we should kill animals and eat them.
(Need to read the whole Var to understand the first half of my statement!)
Guru Arjan Dev Ji says, Pg 201
Bed PaRai mukh meeTee BaNee, Jeean kuhat na sangai praaNee.
sangai=ashamed kuhat-kill praaNee-humans Jeean-living beings
After reading the entire shabad, this line depicts, that the so called learned, saintly people read the sweet hymns of the Veds using their mouths, however they do not hesitate(feel ashamed) to kill animals.
