In the story the attacks supposedly committed by minorities are actually committed by the government. To map this onto reality, it appears that the story is an allegory for how Bush did 9/11!
But I'm fairly sure Bush didn't actually mastermind 9/11. And I imagine that if there were a society of animals with human-level intelligence, different species would commit crimes at vastly different rates - after all, regardless of whether human biodiversity is a thing, animal biodiversity certainly is!
So I thought the moral of the story completely falls to pieces when you think about it. Despite that, the film was certainly enjoyable.
Well, by a faction within the government...
Aside from mapping onto anything in particular, the mayor is a predator. Why is he involved int the conspiracy?
He was in a separate conspiracy. The deputy mayor was turning the carnivores savage, the mayor was covering it up. They had no knowledge of what the other one was doing.
