Create a "Automatic Sell" option

This game has been a blast so far! That being said, there is one thing that drives me absolutely nuts.

When managing my exhibit animals, such as my spiders, they rapidly get out of hand with their breeding. I was thinking an auto-sell mechanic, to sell when the population hits a certain point, would dramatically reduce the micromanaging involved in keeping these cute and fascinating creatures safe and healthy, while keeping me sane and not having to transfer 30 different spiders and selling them on the market manually.

Just use the contraception feature to stop them breeding until you want them to.

EDIT: This obviously doesn't just apply to the fast breeders like spiders (and yes, I found out the hard way too, when an exhibit started breeding like crazy). It's how you can keep control of any animal to keep populations appropriate to the habitats and required social mix.

My plan (at the moment - I'm still experimenting) is just to remove contraception from specific species I want to breed either for the zoo's own population levels or for sale or conservation credits.

+1 to the ops suggestion

I agree if you don't turn on contraception for the exhibit animals you end up spending nearly all your time selling off the offspring

If you do turn it on you then go back after 15 minutes playtime to find your exhibit empty as they have died of old age
