Talk:Population control

Title (and inclusion of insects)
Do 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)
 * 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.-- Ty rS  04:24, 29 September 2015 (UTC)

Tangipahoa Parish example
I 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)
