People have argued about this for a long time. Some people hold that it is because God is an angry, bloodthirsty fellow who just needs to see the blood flow, needs sinners to boil in Hell and things like that. Others hold that the Biblical sacrificial system was instituted because, 3000 years ago, no self-respecting religion didn't have sacrifices. The Canaanites, for example, were apparently into child sacrifice. The sacrificial ritual of the Temple, where most of the meat from the sacrificial animals was sent home to be eaten, sounds pretty civilized in comparison.
