They eat their young so none of their predators can eat them. The meat is a prime protein source.
If all the plants in an area are consumed, the animals that eat them will either migrate or risk starvation. This problem affects herbivores as well as carnivores. Without herbivores, carnivores must also migrate or risk starving to death.
Live bearing fish eat their babies because, by nature, fish do not protect their young: they are more interested in finding food. Baby fish are just more food for the adult fish. Procreation is an instinctive thing, but they have no sense of protecting them once they are born.
Live, eat, reproduce, die.

Scavengers, or parasites. Scavengers wait for prey to be killed by something else, or to die by natural causes, and then eat them. Parasites eat other animals while they are still alive and cannot survive without the host animal.

Animals must eat their food because they might die. It is also because just like humans eat food, animals have to eat food.
Animals are dependant on plants because of the ongoing food chain. For example: Small animals eat plants, and large animals eat small animals. So if there were no plants the smallest animals would not be able to eat, so would die out, and larger animals would not be able to eat either, so they would also die.
