The monster populations are a lot smaller than those of humans, and they learned a long time ago that letting their number rampage in large settlements ends badly. So, they make certain to neutralize problematic monsters before they become a serious problem. This doesn't need to be full-on Masquerade-level, just natural selection at work. In fact, if monsters are particularly long-lived, it may simply be the case that either a) all the crazies are already dead or b) the oldest, strongest monsters are the ones in the big, important cities, and they protect their territory from interlopers. In the former case, crazies aren't an issue; in the latter, they can't get anywhere where they could cause serious trouble, so all they do is cause some disappearances in swamps or whatever.

Fair enough.
