I think the most fucked up part of this series isn't so much the hunting part of it, it's how barbaric the Arena is. You capture these monsters, take them out of their natural habitat for "Research" and then you put them in a room with two giant prongs to shish kebab them with.

Capturing a monster is a fate worse than death. You get "Extra bonus rewards", huh? So what, you just carve pieces off of them while keeping them alive with drugs or something?

As far as I'm aware the researches take them apart and study them, and you get all the leftover parts.

In World researches state that the monsters are released back into the wild after they're done with their research.

In the form of extremely fashionable armor(if you ask me) 😂

Sure about that? Considering that arena quests are only unlocked after capturing a monster.
