He / She / It
At a time when we are becoming increasingly aware of our language and what terms we use (eg hir instead of he / she), we can also transfer this to non-human animals. In the article "She, he, not it: language, personal pronouns, and animal advocacy" by Debra Meskin, it is suggested that you use "he" about male animals, "she" about the female animals, and "they" if you do not know the gender. Do you have any opinions on this? Fire away!
