1. “Capture Kevin”, you mean. Muntz wasn’t thinking of the bird as a person, he was desperate to redeem his name in the eyes of society and was o’t thinking of the consequences taking Kevin would have for her chicks. McLeach  knew the animals were sentient and that he was hurting them, he intentionally hunts and kills endangered animals because he likes causing pain to living things and to a lesser extent, shallow greed.

You wouldn't ever see Mcleach ever help lost travelers, even if there was no chance of them finding about his crimes. Mcleach abused his partner, Joanna constantly. Thats one of the reasons why Mcleach is pure Evil and Muntz isn’t.

The point of Muntz according to Pixar was he was a reflection of Carl. Just as Carl refused to get over Ellie’s death and his house becoming a bitter recluse, Muntz never recovered from losing his friends in the explorer's community, thus he spent over 60 years living isolation, driving him insane and homically paranoid.
