It was because space at the time was an unknown as were the effects on life. Animals were used rather than risk the lives of people.
first they sent a chimp then they sent a dog. I'm not lying, it all happened around the 1950's
They didn't want to test a human so they sent a dog first which actually is still in space because back then they didn't have a tracking device to send in space, so they sent it , thinking it would come back down but it stayed up there and no one has seen that poor little dog ever since.
To measure the effects of space travel on animals before risking a manned space flight. In the early stages of a project, animals are use as a method of risk management. In other words, if plan "A" did not work, at least there would not be a loss of human life.
