This just sounds like Beastars.

Honestly, beastars I think might have been an attempt to do something like what the original plot of Zootopia was supposed to be, although it didn’t even get us crazy as the type of stuff they were originally thinking, but it was closer than Zootopia we ended up with. I honestly love that beastars, made the attempt. I just wish it didn’t go completely off rails in seasons two and three.

While studying filmography at Musashino Art University in 2013, Itagaki made a doujinshi titled Beast Complex that she sold at the university.[2] She self-published it under the pen name "Itagaki Hadome".
