There are no incentives for capturing wild animals because that is poaching… something already internationally prohibited by every UN signatory.

You and I both seem to dislike poaching. But I'm a bit confused as to what you're saying. To understand where you're coming from, what does an incentive mean to you? Are you saying that there are truly absolutely no incentives for poaching? If so, why is poaching still a thing? I understand pangolins, rhinos, and other animals are still poached quite a bit.

And there are never incentives for doing illegal things.
