Is it part of their religion? I know they believe that every living thing great and small (even bugs) have a soul and they can even reincarnate into an animal but is it a strict criteria?

There are many sects in Buddhism, and many different beliefs on the subject. One of the most common belief they share however is ahimsa, which is non-violence. This is what generally why Buddhists are usually vegetarian.
