Seriously, this movie is fucking wild.

Half the movie is blatantly racist, from segregated areas of the city that are designed for different animal species/races to certain species being unable to do certain jobs. Many species are portrayed as being clearly biologically programmed to behave in certain ways, even if they can resist it to some extent. The other half of the movie is anti-racist messaging shoved in your face that seems completely absurd given the fact that many species literally cannot live in the same spaces or do the same jobs.

(spoiler alert) Meanwhile the movie revolves around a bunch of missing people who've been kidnapped because they were hit with an MK-Ultra style drug that turns them into feral killing machines. As the protagonists unravel the mystery, the Trump-esque lion mayor ends up being arrested for the kidnappings (while failing to uncover the nature of their madness). He's undermined by the ewes in his administration who use his fall as an excuse to take control of the government.

The ewes' goal is to destroy the predators in the city by making the masses of relatively weak and timid prey animals hate and fear them again. By hitting only predators with the drug that makes them go feral, they convince the masses that predators are a threat to the city's safety and turn the populace against them. The strong, proud, noble predator races (white people) are driven to the margins of the society they helped build, tearing down the natural leadership class with false promises of equality based more on fear of the capable than on actually making the lesser species more capable.

Pretty sure all of you can figure out the method the ewes at Disney were trying to reveal with this movie.
