English term or phrase: animalthusian explosion
Dans un document (littérature) portant sur une satire de la place occupée par les animaux dans certains pays :

The U.S. today is undergoing what can only be described as an animalthusian explosion.There are enough pet species in this country alone-some 5,000-so that just one pair from every category would require, come the deluge, a Noah’s ark the size of the U.S.S. Enterprise.

Problème!

Explanation:
"Malthusianisme" signifie "limitation des naissances". L'expression signifierait "limitation des naissaces des animaux". Je ne comprends pas ce que pourrait signifier "explosion de la limitation des naissances des animaux". Le contexte laisse penser parle du contraire, une "explosion de préservation des espèces animales".

Erreur. À la relecture, je crois avoir mal interprété le contexte. Il y aurait trop de \"pet species\". Excusez-la.
