to name a lion, male or female, is so anthropomorphic. that is, we have humandized a wild animal by assigning it a humanized name.
a wild animal is not an extension of the human condition. their place in the ecosystem is quite different from ours.
so once Jack, Tom, Dick,. or Harry, or Cecil becomes aan animal's name, Katy Bar the door. we have humanized a wild animal, and that's a difficult concept to get to work properly.
but, that's not the whole story. but it is a start. what about albino deer? are they special even if they don't have a human's name assigned to them?
