Don't totally get the "anti-naming of study animals in conservation" debate. People were upset about Cecil the Lion and now people are upset about P-22 the Puma. Studies need a handle to ID animals - public emotions seem to arise because of the animals' fate, not its name.

In other words: it’s terrible that ‘Cecil’ the lion was killed but not terrible that an anonymous unnamed cow / pig / sheep / chicken / turkey was killed. The hypocrisy in this is weird. In other words, we can kill & eat meat, but they can’t.
