This appears to be round the wrong way.

might be


As these types of places tend to occupy a large area, it's drawn as a closed
way or even as the actual buildings rather than a POI.

a POI is not just a point, it can be just as well a way or an area.

Yes, I agree


This implies that the actual physical structure is an animal.

hm, so in leisure=park the actual physical structure is a leisure?

Well, not to get drawn into a general tagging war, but I think that many (primary) key tags are inappropriate, including leisure (but also power=* & any that are a subjective adjectives such as historical=*)

I personally think all key tags should be nouns & physical.

(If you really do want to discuss this further, please start a new thread but I advice against it as it will be so boring ;) )

It should be something like:
building=animal_rescue_centre

It can have a building tag, but I'd suggest to tag
building=<building-type>  and not building=<building-function>

Could you expand on what you mean by building-type compared with building-function?
