You should never name an animal which is not yours to keep, or which you intend to eat.

You should never name an animal which is not yours to keep,

Summary

This quote suggests that it is inappropriate to give a name to an animal that doesn't belong to you or to an animal that you intend to consume. The underlying idea is likely rooted in the belief that giving something a name attaches a certain level of personal connection and respect to it. By refraining from naming animals that are not yours or meant for consumption, the quote encourages a sense of detachment and helps to avoid emotional attachment or hypocrisy in caring for animals that may ultimately be used for sustenance.
