Who can pick it
Though still only simple animals, these beings are no less than what we ourselves once were. We should ensure their preservation.
Pre-sapients cannot be selectively purged, and planets containing pre-sapients cannot be terraformed.
Alien Zoos may be constructed on planets with pre-sapients.
Changing away from this policy will remove any Alien Zoos on planets without an Isolated Valley deposit or any livestock present!

Pre-sapients living on our colonies will be used for food, slowly depleting their population.
