culler

Removes the unfit

A culler is someone or something that culls—selects, sorts, or removes from a group.

In agriculture and wildlife management, a culler removes inferior or excess animals from a herd or population.

In data processing, a culler filters out unwanted items.

The word appears most often in compound forms: The deer culler worked through the overpopulated forest.
