I don't think stable is a good tagging for all animal shelters, as you and
other people say, stable is for horses.
In addition the proposal was to add a tag stable to a building or a part of
it. But a kennel for example is a wider area that includes buildings,
courtyards and meadows.
We can add a tag amenity=kennel (or any more general if we can find it) to
the whole area and then within it you can add building=yes, landuse=grass
and so on.
I think that the key amenity should be used, and do not introduce a new key.
About the more general tagging, what do you think about
amenity=animal_shelter with dog=yes or cat=yes or wild_animals=yes and so
on?
In this case a tag for each animal species accepted should be added, because
in the same structure you can host dogs and cats or different wild animal
species. So for example you cannot set at the same time stable=dog and
stable=cat.
In this way we could use amenity=animal_shelter also for animal recovery
centers held by WWF or any other associations. You can also add a tag
operator=*.
Last but not least, why don't we move to the Discussion Page, so anyone can
see this discussion, not only people subscribed to this mailing list?
Any suggestion from native speakers is welcome.

Actually I just revived an old proposal for stables [1]. My first thought
was to simply use stables=<animal> until someone with much better english
language skills pointed out that stables usually only refer to horses. I
would also like to see one common tag for "some place where animals are kept
and taken care of". Any suggestions from native speakers?
