The anthropomorphic fallacy (also known as the pathetic fallacy) is the attribution of human thoughts and emotions to animals or inanimate objects. For example, to claim that your tomato plants aren't growing very well because they "hate" hot weather would be to commit the anthropomorphic fallacy. Plants are not capable of hate.
