Oh, this is easy. For one, Wolverine would just be too hard to catch and he'd either kill Taskmaster and Black Ant, or if they did catch him, he'd just go to town on the Hunters until they ran out of robots. If they catch Tigra, they run the risk of someone not only noticing, but caring enough to try and find her. Basically, most heroes are too well connected.

With these villains, we see that they lost interest in the Lizard when Spiderman showed up; they only went after Billy because he was alone and couldn't put up a huge fight.

Even when Taskmaster and Black Ant went after groups of villains, they used very underhanded tactics to take them out early and they were sure to take the whole team, thus making sure that there were no survivors left to get help. To make things worse, if there were any survivors, they probably didn't go to the police or superheroes, but like Black Cat and Gibbon, put more trust in the villain community to provide them support, only for them to be turned over to Taskmaster and Black Ant anyways in exchange for money.

Also, there are far fewer animal themed heroes than there are villains.

Pretty much, the point here is that most of these villains are petty cowards.
