It was needed UNTIL Jesus came. Jesus was to be the final sacrifice. Before that, people needed an intermediary to obtain forgiveness, so they received atonement through animal sacrifice. After Jesus, we no longer need that. HE is now the intermediary.

Why would Christians say that animal sacrifice was never needed? That would be contrary to what the Bible teaches. God was the one who killed the first animal to provide a covering of skin (clothes) for Adam and Eve's nakedness. And when you have to skin an animal you have to shed blood, which pictures the COVERING of righteousness that will be imputed to us when Christ shed His blood for us.
Please LISTEN to what the other believers are saying here. Animal sacrifices were necessary but not perfect. The blood of animals cannot fully rectify the human sinful condition. Only the death of a perfect Godman can atone for sins most completely and perfectly. Thus animal sacrifices were a temporary provision which prefigures the ultimate sacrifice of the Lamb of God.

In the Old Testament in the Bible, when people needed atonement (forgiveness) for sin or to get their relationship right with God the person was required to make a blood sacrifice, always an animal of high value to the person. When Jesus died on the cross, He was the final, perfect sacrifice for all. Jesus is the "Lamb of God", and His death paid the ultimate price for one and all. Now animal sacrifice is unnecessary.

In a fashion they nevertheless do. For meat to be kosher, the animal would desire to be ritually slaughtered, drained of its blood, and inspected for blemishes interior the comparable way it would have been arranged for sacrifice. The Jewish house is the recent Temple, and the diningroom table is the altar. while the Temple became destroyed, The Rabbis that wrote the Talmud reported that repentance, righteousness (i.e. in this context, giving to the detrimental), and prayer would replace sacrifices. some Orthodox centers would desire to contain analyzing passages approximately animal sacrifices, yet i do no longer understand the small print approximately that. So whilst the prepare isn't the comparable, the custom is honoured in a clean style.

animal sacrifice was needed to atone the sin of ppl before Jesus was crucified. after His cruxifition, animal sacrifice is no longer needed as as Jesus death has become the ultimate sacrifice for those who would believe.

Dear Friend,
Consider the following Scripture from Gods word the bible:
Romans 10:4Christ is the end of the law so that there may be righteousness for everyone who believes.
5Moses describes in this way the righteousness that is by the law: "The man who does these things will live by them."[a] 6But the righteousness that is by faith says: "Do not say in your heart, 'Who will ascend into heaven?'[b]" (that is, to bring Christ down) 7"or 'Who will descend into the deep?'[c]" (that is, to bring Christ up from the dead). 8But what does it say? "The word is near you; it is in your mouth and in your heart,"[d] that is, the word of faith we are proclaiming: 9That if you confess with your mouth, "Jesus is Lord," and believe in your heart that God raised him from the dead, you will be saved. 10For it is with your heart that you believe and are justified, and it is with your mouth that you confess and are saved. 11As the Scripture says, "Anyone who trusts in him will never be put to shame."[e] 12For there is no difference between Jew and Gentile—the same Lord is Lord of all and richly blesses all who call on him, 13for, "Everyone who calls on the name of the Lord will be saved."[f]
Christ is the end of the Mosaic Law, his sacrifice paid the price for all sin, past present and future. Therefore burnt offerings etc were no longer necessary.
Matthew 26:8This is my blood of the[a] covenant, which is poured out for many for the forgiveness of sins.
I hope this answers your question
God Bless

no longer needed because long time ago, the way of sacrificing to their "lords" were through meats or the so-called animal sacrifice.
