IMO, many of our practices specifically religious ones came out of our symbiotic relationship with nature. Whichever group within a religion found it needs this relationship with certain aspects added it as a "rule" in the religion in their area. That is why we were ok with giving animal sacrifice in some hindu temples till late 1960s-1970s.
~ When Subhash Chandra Bose wanna start military it is most thevar community people who wish to become a part of his army. It is because they have the habit of sacrificing the animal to god. Means the cruelty, essential to fight & win opponents in war, was developed that way. Hinduism being very practical have realised that there should be group of people with that calibre and hence the animal sacrifice. There is a psychological reason behind this. A man who want to fight for his nation should develop cruelty and at the same time he should not feel committed sin. Therefore the animal was offered to god to protect his psycho and side by side to develop fearless mind. That is the reason even in school NCC the cadets would be asked to kill chicken by chopping its head with an empty hand.

As for the Ayappa thingy, The phenomenon of Ayappa itself would have started around 1200 AD not before that. People of other religious faiths were coming into India. There might have been a need to protect Tiger population.
~ Lord Iyyapa is the son of Mohini avtar. Lord Narayana took Mohini avatar during Dwapara yugam. We are approximately about 5000 years into the Kali yugam. And according to Srimad Bhagavata purana and other puranas Dwapara yugam is approximately about 864,000 years. So adding together it should have taken place much before 869,000 years from now. The reason for lord Iyappa is to kill an asuran and not to protect tiger population.
