Wildlife contraceptive

Wildlife contraceptive is a way to control the population of wild animals without hurting them. It works by giving the animals a medicine (either by food or injection) that stops them from being able to have babies. The medicine works like a regular contraceptive for humans. After a while, the animals stop getting the medicine, and then they can have babies again if they want. Wildlife contraceptives are often used to help manage the population of certain animal species that are overpopulated.
