The human mind attaches voraciously to metaphors and metaphors attach very well to animals. I love the old-school style of political cartooning where you use an animal -say a bear- as a metaphor for fiscal debt, but then you write 'fiscal debt' on the side of the bear, because honestly- without that, the bear could be a metaphor for pretty much anything.
