Hitching is also used for hitch hiking - where a person stands beside a 
road trying to obtain a lift.

amenity=animal_hitch would clear that up..

As for 'pack animals' .. there are for animals that carry luggage not 
people. While the same hitch is used for both using the term 'pack 
animal' could confuse some. Not all pack animal are 'happy' to cary 
peole and not all people caring animal are 'happy' carrying a pack.

One animal not mentioned so far are camels.
