      The problem is that we don’t have a word for when we commit genocide, but then force-breed the same population to prevent it from extinction, only to repeat the killing again. A perpetual holocaust. We have some euphemisms like “breeding” and “husbandry” that focus of the reproduction but not in the killing. I’m open to suggestions.
