I'm teaching an English writing class in Korea and our class was wondering this. The problem is that Zoomorphism is the closest.
Personification and Anthropomorphism are technically the same, giving human qualities to an animal or thing. Personification is objects and Anthro is animals.
By this logic, zoomorphism would only be to people, but there is no equivalent to personification.
The greek meaning, though, of anthropomorphism is to change something from human to something else, so zoomorphism would technically work. Morph means change, anthro person, zoo animal.
My class is considering making up a new word, but so far Animalification is the best we have. :)
