Because that decides the definition of a species. If we take, say, a several Deinonychus antirrhopus and a few housecats, then by your definition only the housecats would be a species, since only they could possibly procreate due to not being dead. If you say that the Deinonychus antirrhopus are a species, then you can't summon a species, since in that case a species is a taxonomical concept and thus not actually summonable due to the non-physical nature of concepts.

That's one definition of a species, but most include provisions for extinct species.
Of course, species defined in the past have a little problem called evolution. Just look at any anthropological debate--individuals don't all fit neatly into Australopithecus or Homo, or into species within those genuses, because there aren't strong differences. If there were, there would be an individual Australopithecus who gave birth to a whole separate genus, which is ludicrous. TL;DR: Classical concepts of taxonomy don't work well on evolutionary timescales.

On the other hand, going by the first definition, by summoning a few Deinonychus you would make them a species due to them being a group of individual animals able to produce fertile offspring. So by summoning a few of them, you would make a species. So you can summon a species either way.

On the third, stunted, mutated hand, misko27 was quoting a textbook example of Insane Troll Logic back there.

On the fourth hand, which is actually a lobster claw, you totally can summon a location due to it being an object. So the argument was pointless from the very beginning and is only a matter of choosing your words.

Um, locations aren't objects. Chicago, for instance, would be Chicago even if its skyscrapers were leveled and replaced with wood huts, far more than the rubble would be.

You're not the first to say that...well, not EXACTLY that...
