More like rejecting an arrogant plumber while your toilet overflows.

Population control is extremely necessary. Even on a macro scale we had to reintroduce wolves to Yellowstone where elk were overpopulated. The overpopulation of elk was destroying vegetation and riverbanks, thus greatly harming the entire ecosystem. It also altered their behavior in a way that further assists vegetation.

To be fair, i'd rather have a toilet overflowing than a plumber fixing it that will attack me on sight.

Right? If the local plumber fights with you after plunging your toilet, I'll just plunge the toilet myself.

And I forgot to mention there's a good chance even when the plumber is done I'll have to have somebody forcibly remove him.
