Here are some animals that has become endangered ever since we started eating them:

1. Crayfish (this is very popular in Singapore)

2. Deer (can be found in normal hawker Tze Char stalls)

3. Snakes (not really common in Singapore, but very popular in huge countries like China etc)

4. Chinese Giant Salamander (only eaten in China, and is a target of illegal hunting)

5. Chimpanzees and Gorillas (are eaten in Africa as a cultural tradition)

6. Bluefin Tuna (is very popular in Japan as sashimi and sold at a high price in Singapore)

7. Fin Whales (eaten in Japan, but Japanese claimed to be doing research when they're killing the whales)

8. African Forest Elephants (are often killed for ivory, but also for their flesh though they do not have a lot as mostly are skin)

9. Green Sea Turtle (still being hunted in parts of South Asia) (SG is in Southeast Asia)

10. Sharks (are not killed for flesh, but for their fins)
