Good question, especially in light of some Scriptures showing God's distaste for such sacrifices while continuing to sin (see Isaiah 1:11-16 as an example). So why were these Sacrificial Laws started?
While in Egypt, the Israelites became very familiar with animal sacrifices to the various gods. About 1 year after the Exodus, God instituted the Sacrificial Laws to help the Congregation of Israel remember God and point them to their further Savior (Messiah) of the World. It also had the effect of taking away the false god worshipping a reminding the people of the One True God. The food was usually eaten by the Levitical Priesthood or the poor, though some sacrifices were totally burned beyond eatable conditions.
As Christians believe Jesus Christ is the perfect sacrifice for all mankind, part of the New Testament/Covenant changes were to this Administrative Law as being no longer needed. Jews, however, continue to await the coming Messiah and is foretold that they will re-institute these Sacrificial Laws again in the near future.
