Because the animals will die in transit, or die off under the 'care' of their new owners, either through incompetence or purely because nobody understands how to keep them alive in any form of captivity in the first place.
And the people in the local area will facilitate their local extinction in their natural habitat, because of money. Which (given the first point) is likely to accelerate their total extinction.
And if any of those species do survive after such commercial relocation, they may well escape and become invasive feral species in their new home.

Our current bind seems to illustrate that despite being a 'bad idea' this is the model under which we live i.e. one which commercially incentives fucking with nature.
