Doesn't it seem immature to ban an animal, solely on how humans identify it by name? Am I also correct to assume, that if you and I were to have an educated conversation (or just out of fascination about birds) about the Titmouse bird, that we aren't referring to the vulgar part of the word "tit," based on its urban definition?
It's really about context, and how the people are using the name in the conversation. It's like the technical term for "sex," which is another term for "classification" for male and female. So if I was to point out clothes that are unisex in design, I wouldn't mean that it's for intercourse, but it's clothes designed for both male and female.
Couldn't Christians come up with an alternative, if the above can never be considered? Just like how Christians have the pledge of allegiance to the Christian flag and the traditional American pledge of allegiance, couldn't a different "Christian" name be coined for animals that you feel offensive to its given name?

Welcome to this most fascinating place. You will come to find christians, and evangelicals in particular, to be spectacular examples of retarded evolutionary development. I have compiled volumes of scientific data in my time here, and it never gets boring.
