Cull or Kill?

Fish and Wildlife Service staff members will head to Alaska for a hunting trip. Not on vacation, but rather on official business. Their mission: Cull a herd of caribou on a remote island in the Alaska Maritime National Wildlife Refuge. 

The Agriculture Department worries the few caribou there could make more caribou, threatening the ecosystem of Kagalaska Island. Caribou swim to Kagalaska Island from the adjacent Adak. Both lie far out in the Aleutian chain. 

Meat from the slaughtered caribou will be made available to locals on Adak.
