Slaughter (8)

Ross

There are a few possibilities for this:

Which length description are you looking for?:

4

7 8 9

'slaughter' is the definition.
(I have seen 'Selective slaughter ' mean 'cull' so perhaps 'slaughter' could also mean 'cull')

This is the entire clue.

(Other definitions for cull that I've seen before include "Reduce (a wild population) by selective slaughter" , "Reduce size of herd by killing superfluous members" , "Reduce population of, eg, seals" , "Choose; thin out" , "Pick; select worst (for killing)" .)

I've seen this clue in The Guardian, the Canadiana and The Telegraph.
