In the book woodsong by Gary paulsen Why did Gary say it was a bad idea to name the bears in the book woodsong by Gary paulsen?

Gary Paulsen believed naming the bears would humanize them and make it difficult for him to hunt them. By giving them names, he would form an emotional attachment that could hinder his ability to view them as prey. Naming them would blur the line between wild animals and companions, making it harder for him to fulfill his role as a hunter.
