We are all anthropomorphic animals: how would we live?

If we lived in a world where everyone was an anthropomorphic animal, (and I mean all humans would be animals and no "real" animals exist), how would we live?

Here are just some general ideas/guidelines to go by—otherwise have at it.

-Propose a law that you would want made (e.g. "Vultures must only scavenge on bodies specifically given for donation") -Propose a new interest group (e.g. the "Gazelles for Freedom Society") -What would we eat or drink? How would breeding work? How would society be organized?

I'm expecting a rather Crapsack World to result, but I'd like to see how this goes. Feel free to use whatever media you're familiar with that goes by this concept or any anthropomorphism tropes.

And GO!

Hmm...well...for starters, Carnivore Confusion. Maybe do a The Purge style thing. That would end very badly.

Maybe breed GMO without any souls? Or brain cells or whatever?

Or maybe just kill all the carnivores. I dunno.

Also HOLY FaCKING SHeT!!!!!!!

I'd say we also enact a law where any animals toxic on contact (ie poison dart frogs) must wear a specialized heavily-reinforced hazmat suit at all times, unless within their own homes.

And even then, they still must wear them around the house if they share their abode with another species. If a member of a differing species moves into their home, the whole place must be completely decontaminated first.

If we purge carnivores we have a very big problem.

Or maybe we can and suffer the results.

I suggest this if you prefer the former: carnivores can legally kill and eat any other citizens including other carnivores, as long as this is necessary.

Nice idea.

Another one: carnivores are expected to act as population control and failure to oblige will lead to a devour sentence.

Omnivores are mistrusted by both carnivores and herbivores, with the implication that they need to choose a side

That could work.

Non-bird reptiles are treated as inferior despite being equal in all aspects, leading to genocide.

Venomous species cannot use venom in one-on-one combat (many venomous species already have this rule)

Alternately, farming becomes way more prevalent. Regular animals, while still in the Uncanny Valley, would still be edible and non-sapient. We'd just have more specialized diets.

Cross-species dating is allowed and if sex becomes a thing, will result in new hybrids. Also, no one eats anyone, except the evil animals of the bizzaro world.

If no one eats anyone we have a disaster

The "carnivores must participate in population control" is much more unique and actually feasible.

\*Don't bump*

If anything, we could live our lives more in this fashion in our animal world:

Tuff Puppy does work pretty well for an anthro world; No one really dies and all food is more like a meat-by-product. I say it's perfect(Well.... In terms of food and population. And to a slim margent security)
