Animal cells don't have chloroplasts because they don't need to photosynthesis as they get the glucose they need to respire from the food they eat.

Some plant cells have chloroplasts, which contain many molecules of a green chemical called chlorophyll. They need chloroplasts to make their own food using a process called photosynthesis. Animals eat food. Their cells don't make food using sunlight. An example of an organism that has animal cells is a human. Humans buy (or grow) food and eat it, which is why animal cells don't have chloroplasts.
