Long ago when animal sacrifices were done by the Levitical priests of the Hebrews many different animals were needed for the sacrifices. When Jesus was here on earth the priests and others were making money selling birds and animals to the Hebrews for them to offer as sacrifices. They were profiteering. They were basically dishonoring God and therefore Jesus called them a den of thieves.

Why was Jesus opposed to the way temple mount was run?
If you are referring to the two times Jesus 'cleansed the temple' by driving out the sellers and overturning their tables, (John 2.15 & Luke 19.45), he did this according to his objection when he said in Luke 19.46," Saying unto them, It is written, My house is the house of prayer: but ye have made it a den of thieves."Additional perspective:The gospel accounts suggest that Jesus had at least two objections to what was taking place at the temple. First, the exchange of money and the sale of animals for sacrifices was going on inside the courtyard of the temple. Second, the phrase "den of thieves" implies that inflated prices were being charged. Both were in violation of the Law of Moses.

Why Did Jesus Clear The Temple?
A:All the gospels agree that Jesus cleansed the Temple, overturning the tables of the moneychangers and the seats of those who sold doves, because they had made the house of his father a den of thieves. The synoptic gospels (Matthew, Mark and Luke) place this event at the very end of his ministry as the trigger for the arrrest of Jesus. John's Gospel uses the miracle of the resurrection of Lazarus as the trigger for the arrest of Jesus, and so moves the cleansing of the Temple to the beginning of the mission of Jesus.
