Androcide

Androcide is the killing of males, usually by other males. It is usually done to reduce or eliminate the population of males in a certain area. It's kind of like when adults have to get rid of something, like a toy or a toy animal, that they know their kid won't be able to play with anymore. In the same way, males in a certain area might be killed to make sure that the population doesn't get too big or cause too much trouble.
