    The point is that it allows us to gain metrics on the population so we can implement meaningful changes, based on data.

      That makes zero sense, if you’re collecting data then you don’t take action as that spoils the experiment. If you’ve collected the data then you know the results and should start fixing things.

      At no point during this situation is there a decade or so for populations to ‘explode’.

            Dead furbearers are no longer a part of the population due to the means of sampling, trapping. So they’ve been removed from the population.

              Maybe this could work for a higher acceptance for mass shootings too, if the victims are not killed but removed from the population.

              Ew. ‘Sampling’ as killing now? And ‘furbearers’? Animals are being killed by humans, for fur. Using different words just shows how uncomfortable people are with what’s happening.
