The whole point of Glukkon culture is that they are only interested in short-term gratification and consistently fail to consider the long-term consequences of their actions.
For example, if Gabbits are good candidates for Glukkon lung transplants, then is positively moronic to hunt them into extinction. But that's Gluks for you. Consider Mullock's "clever" plan to make food out of Mudokons ... if he had started killing Muds for their meat, he'd (eventually) have no slave labour force left!
I think OWI are using the Glukkons to parody that aspect of human nature. Our species has done a lot of things just as stupid and thoughtless as hunting the Meech into extinction.

I love it when people agree with me!
I also think it was quite foolish of Humphrey to use the last known living Gabbit for his sonar beacon experiment. How reckless! Oddworld has robots; why not make a robot with skulljack? But then again, if Humphrey didn't give Munch headport, we wouldn't get the great chance of zapping people! Sometimes the story doesn't make complete sense, because #1: It's a different world and #2: It's all for the sake of entertainment and great gameplay!
