Chloroplasts contain chlorophyll. Chlorophyll is the chemical needed for photosynthesis - using energy from the sun with carbon dioxide to make sugar. Plants need this because it is their only energy source (with some exceptions such as venus fly traps)

Animals eat plants or other animals, and so do not need to conduct photosynthesis as they have another energy source. If there is no need to photosynthesise there is no point in making chloroplasts.
