 a mirror image of anthropomorphism, it's what Kristin Andrews and Brian Huss call anthropectomy. So if anthropomorphism is the error of mistakenly attributing a human typical quality to an animal, for instance, saying that a dog is grieving when she's actually not, anthropectomy would be the opposite error. It would be mistakenly denying that the dog is grieving by saying, no, she's a dog, she can't grieve because that is human exclusive when actually the dog is grieving.
