Title (and inclusion of insects)
editDo we perhaps need to tweak the title to allow the article to cover control of non-animal, e.g. insect populations (especially since ticks are mentioned under 'Examples')?--TyrS (talk) 04:57, 1 May 2010 (UTC)
- @TyrS: Why would insect populations not be described as animal populations? Jarble (talk) 04:03, 29 September 2015 (UTC)
- I made that post over 5 years ago, Jarble. I'm no longer following this article so my the post is no longer relevant & can be deleted if you like.--TyrS 04:24, 29 September 2015 (UTC)
Tangipahoa Parish example
editI wouldn't regard euthanasia for disease control in an animal shelter as an example of population control, as population control is generally aimed at dealing with overpopulation, rather than being a method of disease containment and the prevention of suffering. I would guess that this example is used here as a means of publicizing a controversial episode of disease containment within the animal shelter industry. Does anyone want to put forth a better example?--Quisqualis (talk) 22:34, 21 November 2016 (UTC)
