gentleunicorn-93

Some animals can be domesticated. They are the ones who people tend to eat. China is built different. They had a past. But humans have been killing and eating animals for a very long time,so it has been a part of our evolution process too.

Now the answer to the question, people have different preferences in different regions,some are due to culture,some are due to religions,etc. So,it is fair to say that killing and eating animals was started as a necessity to survive while now its just a thing which has been inherited from our ancestors.
