well technically Robin the "Moby Dick syndrome" is when humans see animals as evil and place blame on them for many, many things.. in the novel Moby Dick is clearly a monster (thus can stay) however Ahab was worse due to his fatal flaw:

Ahab pursued a wild animal for vengeance and many see the real moral of Moby Dick being that it is ultimately futile to seek revenge on a beast.. thus we made the term related to said tale.

just like Ahab it is madness to give human qualities to non-sapient animals, when we do we fall victim to "Moby Dick Syndrome" (or more accurately the same madness Ahab fell to).
