定语从句中,指代动物用which还是who呢?


VOA:

It was only during the administration of president George Bush senior in 1989 that the ceremony became an annual event. After all this turkey represents America's 45 million Turkeys,

who will begin making their irreplaceable contribution to our Thanksgiving celebration, so take it easy turkey.

先行词 45 million Turkeys, 后面的定语从句用了关系代词who, 请教老师,动物也可以用who吗?(我一直认为只有人才可以用who)。

这里是否应该用which指代动物?

从 so take it easy turkey.这个句子中,turkey作呼语,可知作者在这里把turkey拟人化了,否则怎么能对turkey说话呢?既然拟人化了,用who就是自然而然的事了。
