I got into a conversation today with a rabbit breeder about culling.
I was looking to see what she was going to do with the culls and I would take them off her hands for my dogs.
She said I was brave for even asking because apparently there are animal activists who would verbally and physically attack me for asking such a question!

That got me thinking, I know the word "cull" means removing something, in this case removing from the gene pool, but from what I understand (maybe I am wrong) many dogmen from the past would kill to cull rather than s/n. Is that incorrect?

My question is, is THAT form of culling still practiced today or is that a thing of the past?
