Culling is the process of removing animals from a group based on specific criteria. This is done in order to either reinforce certain desirable characteristics or to remove certain undesirable characteristics from the group. For livestock and wildlife, the process of culling usually implies the killing of animals with undesirable characteristics.
Culling The rejection or removal of inferior individuals from breeding. The act of selective breeding. As used in the practice of breeding pedigree cats, this refers to the practice of spaying or neutering a kitten or cat that does not measure up to the show standard (or other standard being applied) for that breed. In no way does culling, as used by responsible breeders, signify the killing of healthy kittens or cats if they fail to meet the applicable standard."

So we all know it happens but how common is it?
As owners, breeders and people of interest what are your views on culling? Spaying or Neutering will do the trick just as much, would it not?

Not to mention this subject has been discussed before. Does it REALLY need to be discussed again? I don't think so.

They are just looking to stir some, of the members up. I could be wrong but my gut tells me different.
If I'm right.... Good job on not falling for it!
If I'm wrong, I'm sorry.
Maybe geordiegaviino you can just go back, on your other thread and re-read what the members felt and had to say.
