You don't have to.
If you are worried about protein there are other ways of getting it, like beans and nuts.
Lots of people are vegans. Personally I like my meat.

Meat contains vitamin D, E and others, iron and fiber, some are very good for digestion. But you can find these minerals and vitamins in vegetables too. We eat meat because it tastes good to.

You don't HAVE to, but it makes sense to. You are made of meat. It makes sense to eat a diet that contains all the things you are made of (or things your body can synthesize into those things). While it is possible to eat a vegan or vegitarian diet and remain healthy, it's much harder work than just eating the omnivorous diet your body is clearly adapted to consume.

We don't, actually. We need protein, but we can get it from other sources. A dish of Red Beans and Rice is a very good source of protein. Just make sure you're getting all your nutrients. A trip to the library would help tremendously. And always check your sources. And ALWAYS check with your doctor!!!

well i think protein should not at all be the reason coz it can be derived from vegetarian sources like soya,pulses etc.i think that we eat meat coz our ancestors used to do so.also u may argue that all people dont eat meat even if their ancestors used to do so but talking about ancestors they didnt have any choice ,at that time necessity ruled over choice.

we don't have to. i don't eat meat but it's hard to get enough iron without it. protien is easy enough to get from other sources but you have to eat enormous quantities of non-meat foods to get the same iron you'd get from meat.

No one HAS to eat anything they dont want but it does taste good and the protien in it is good for you.
