The entire plot of the movie is about predator animals going savage and the rabbit cop and fox conman working together to understand why.

Act 1 is rabbit cop overcoming assumptions that she cannot be a cop because she is a rabbit.

Act 2 is they catch a savage predator and then, when prompted on the news, rabbit cop suggests it may be due to predators having savage behaviors "in their genetics"

Act 3 is realizing that this was an unwarranted bias, working together, and finding the real culprit.

It's a great progressive film because one of the big racial conflict moments is the rabbit cop, a kind and well intentioned protagonist, grappling with her own subconscious biases.

I think it was a warranted bias. Obviously in the show's past there was a time when predators predated, or they wouldn't have brought it up.

That makes it more noble. The Rabbit is not just getting over a silly uninformed prejudice, but is willing to intellectually set aside the ongoing murder of her ancestors to fully analyze a case. "Sure, they are naturally violent and we all know that, but is that enough to account for ..." She's a real investigator who refuses to be distracted.

The movie was very clear that predators in this universe were not naturally violent.

It's at best on par with prejudice towards people from a country that previously invaded your own.
