Re: Wikipedia's worst sentences
I think that in literary style, it's possible to use the masculine pronoun for many if not most animals as a presumed gender. Especially with cats and dogs, but it extends to wild animals too. It's a remnant of grammatical gender, which has mostly vanished from the language. In German, Hase is male.
