Yes, I think it is highly appropriate to officially distribute new monitors to only a few select breeders, who can roll them over at $10,000 a pop and pocket that dough, while making sure that evil scientists don't get any information about them. Why not? Well, those scientists would go and learn about them, and publish their information, which everybody could read for free! Heck, they don't make any money at all. Hahahahahaha, boy are they stupid.

And because the animal traffickers will keep their secrets, and the local people get paid 30 cents for every one of those monitors they can catch, that will surely prevent that island from being clearcut or stripmined. That's a lot of money going to those happy little folks hahahaha. We sure don't want any World Wildlife Fund or UN or anything pestering these countries to declare reserves in biodiversity hotspots. It's the dang annoying scientists again, making it hard for us to turn a profit. After all, once the place has all been logged, you can charge even more for those babies!
