   Keys: Devouring, Predation, Depredation, Herbivorous, Carnivorous, Black Market

   An act of Predation, also known as Devouring, is the mere act of a carnivorous beast attacking a living herbivorous beast with the purpose of eating its flesh.

   Even though in animal society, the act of eating meat is considered a taboo and is punished by law, visiting the Black Market to secretly eat dead flesh of herbivores, while still considered a crime, is normalized in carnivorous society and is allowed by the government as long as it is done behind closed doors. Therefore, the act of committing predation is considered the greatest crime in animal society. Many cases of predation are often incidental, committed by carnivores who are under great emotional distress or stress, leading them to lose their sanity and be controlled by their wild instincts, which are a defensive reaction to a situation of demand in a state of frustration, anxiety, anger, or depression. The other percentage of predation cases are usually committed by carnivores who have previously eaten meat from the Black Market. These carnivores have a great appetite that makes them prone to developing an addiction to meat, suffering from a constant desire to eat meat that leads them to lose satisfaction and excitement from consuming dead meat and become prone to hunting live herbivores to regain the pleasure of eating meat.

   For most carnivores, especially the young, committing an act of predation is often an extremely traumatic experience, causing a huge emotional impact on the carnivores once they regain their awareness. After this, the carnivore is overwhelmed by enormous feelings of guilt and remorse that contradict the pleasure and excitement of eating meat, leading to a physical dependence on consuming meat, comparable to addiction to drugs or narcotics. Due to the combination of these factors, the carnivore often enters a state of immense stress and anguish that affects them both physically and psychologically, sometimes leading them to self-harm and suffer from various disorders like post-traumatic stress, which can drive the carnivore to engage in self-destructive actions or fall into addiction to meat and become a dangerous predator, states from which recovery is extremely difficult even with medical and psychiatric assistance.

   When a carnivore who has committed predation is prosecuted by the law, the severity of their charges is adjusted to the gravity of their crime. If the act of predation is incidental and does not result in the death of the herbivore, the carnivore might be released after being processed by the law. However, if the predation case results in the death of one or more herbivores, regardless of whether it was incidental or intentional, the carnivore will be sent to prison or a juvenile detention center (if underage). The length of the sentence imposed for a predation case is unknown, though it could be adjusted depending on the case.

   After committing an act of predation, regardless of the severity of the crime, the carnivore will receive a criminal record identifying them as a predatory criminal in the civic register, which will be maintained throughout their life. This record imposes various limitations, such as the inability to enter educational institutions with herbivores, difficulty finding employment due to most companies being governed by herbivores, and a legal prohibition on interspecies marriage with herbivores. Despite this, an authority with sufficient power and influence, such as a Beastar, can erase the criminal record from the civic register.

2. #2Societyconstantselective

   Keys: Society; Relations; Interspecies relationships

   Society has a unique appreciation for the so-called 'pure-blooded animals', animals whose blood comes from parents of the same species and breed, at the same time that couples of the same species are equally or more appreciated, to the point that If two animals of the opposite sex and of the same species walk together, they will quickly be matched by the animals around them, observing them with looks of respect and admiration, in addition to treating them with the utmost courtesy.

   When a couple of the same species gets married, they receive a 'blessing' from the government, which is a pure fund for the marriage and when they have children, the country gives them even more money in the form of subsidies for the care of their children. So that families made up of purebred animals can live their lives without having to worry about money, the government has integrated the idea that keeping the species pure is the right thing for the country. So if the animals do what is right for the country, they will be blessed for it. Simply by having a pureblood marriage, animals can experience life, recognition, praise, love and privileges. Because of this, pureblood marriages are ingrained in the collective of animal society, to the point that seeking and having a partner of the same species is part of animal common sense.

   Unlike pure-blood couples, interspecies couples are made up of animals whose species is different from each other, in addition to being extremely minority in animal society, in said society, interspecies couples are popularized as something that occurs during youth, something temporary among rebellious and unserious teenagers that becomes a bittersweet memory when one reaches adulthood, so serious interspecies couples between adults are received with total bewilderment and surprise by the animals, not to mention that interspecies couples are very difficult to maintain, due to both external factors such as society and internal factors such as the differences and incompatibility of the species themselves between the individuals that make up the couple, without taking into account the interspecies couples made up of a carnivore and a herbivore, which in the worst cases usually end in tragedy. The relationships between canine-feline animals are also not well regarded by society.

   A Beastar is the most important and recognized title in society. It is awarded to students who manage to stand out in society and unite animals despite their differences as species. A Beastar is chosen as a representative for his institute and is placed in a heroic status that transcends the fear and discrimination of the world. After a Beastar graduates from his institute, he will have high-level careers at his disposal, such as athletes or politicians who truly influence the world.

   Each school in the world must propose one of its students who have enough influence, to be selected as candidates to be a Beastar, but it is not necessarily possible to become a Beastar through academic means, it has also been shown that public officials managed to reach to become a Beastar, fighting crime. Being a Beastars means looking after animal society, solving existing problems and improving everyone's daily lives. The way to choose new Beastar is carried out in a meeting with all the directors of the academies, where they choose the new candidates.

   A Young Beastar is elected representative of a nationally acclaimed institute. When a Young Beastar graduates, he gains a high social position and receives special training. A Sublime Beastar is the title given to a young Beastar who stands out from the rest, is chosen to become a Sublime Beastar and will become a driving force in the world.

   Keys: Black Market; Meat; Illegal sale; Shishigumi; Inarigumi; Dokugumi; Madaragumi

   The Black Market is an illegal trading district that is relatively hidden in the back parts of different cities in the Beastars universe.

   Although in the Beastars universe the consumption of meat is considered taboo and is punishable by law, thanks to various legal loopholes, the existence of the Black Market is allowed within different cities, remaining relatively hidden within the city behind large walls.

   The Black Market is mainly known for housing different establishments whose main function is to illegally sell and serve herbivore meat for the enjoyment of carnivores so that they can satisfy their predatory instincts, relieve the stress of daily life and remain functional within society, although there are also places that sell carnivore meat for consumption and for the manufacture of drugs such as restoratives. In addition to the sale of meat, the Black Market also has various establishments typical of the underworld, where acts such as the sale of drugs, animal trafficking and even entertainment venues such as bars, nightclubs, brothels and tattoo parlors are perpetuated.

   Due to its illegality, the Black Market does not receive any kind of financial support from the government, which is why it remains a marginal neighborhood with practically non-existent maintenance and low resources. Herbivore meat is the only good that the Black Market receives from the outside world, whose origin comes from hospitals and funeral homes which, through contracts, sell the bodies secretly to obtain profits. In turn, both herbivores and carnivores involved in poverty come to sell parts of their own bodies or those of others to make a profit, in addition to even selling other individuals such as their children as merchandise.

   There exists a clinic within the Black Market run by Gohin. Its primary purpose is the rehabilitation of carnivores who are at risk of or have become predatory offenders.

   The Black Market is home to four major criminal organizations. During an event known as the "Day of Depravity", they compete for domination over the Black Market.

   Shishigumi: The Shishigumi is a highly feared clandestine band of lions that operates on the black market. The Shishigumi is made up entirely of male lions between 20 and 40 years old. These have a dress code made up of two-piece suits that are mostly black. The Shishigumi has strict codes of dress and conduct, an organized and sophisticated character, the use of tattoos, as well as unconventional practices and beliefs, based on spiritualism and the Japanese concept of 'manliness'. The name "Shishigumi" comes from the Japanese 獅子 (Shishi) which literally means lion.

   Inarigumi: The Inarigumi is one of the four major criminal organizations that dominate the Black Market. The organization is made up entirely of female foxes. Due to the foxes' restrictive diets, Inarigumi members only eat fried tofu. The dress code for the Inarigumi consists of a cheongsam and high heels.

   Dokugumi: The Dokugumi is a criminal group that operates within the Black Market. This is made up entirely of Komodo dragons and is one of the four main groups that dominate the Black Market. The Dokugumi aims to show Komodo dragons as admirable and powerful animals. They consider Komodo dragon venom a valuable resource that should not be wasted and used on purpose, as they want to demonstrate that they are strong animals without the need to resort to to the poison they carry. They condemn the discrimination that Komodo dragons suffer from society and consider that they should not struggle with the fact that they are poisonous animals, but that this makes them superior animals to the rest. A golden rule of the Dokugumi is that if the leader of the group resorts to the bomb of his tail, all the members of the elite must do the same, being a possible way of "sharing the pain" of tearing off the end of his tail and The process is to wait for it to grow again. The Dokugumi also show spiritual customs and beliefs. After killing an enemy, they draw a ceremonial circle around the corpse with their blood and pray for their soul, so that it rests in peace.

   Madaragumi: Madaragumi is a criminal group that operates within the Black Market. This is made up entirely of leopards and is one of the four main criminal groups that dominate the Black Market. The Madaragumi is a group whose costumes seem to be inspired by Japanese clothing from the taishō and Showa periods, consisting of kimonos, haoris or hakamas, wooden sandals or getas and some wear felt hats or kasas. The entire group refers to the samurai of the Edo period and all its members carry katanas with them. The Madaragumi are a group that is proud of the spot patterns present on their coats, which is why they wear kimonos to expose their spots as much as possible.

   Keys: Cherryton Academy; School; Academy

   Description

   Cherryton is a boarding school, which has numerous buildings with a vast number of classrooms, clubs and such for its students. It also has four separate dormitory buildings, where the students sleep. Each one is meant for carnivores and herbivores of each gender. The room assignment is basically designed so that it is shared by animals from the same family. For example, room 701 is made up of canines (Legoshi, Jack, Collot, Durham, Miguno and Voss). Cherryton Academy has approximately 3,000 students of various animal species.

   The school comes with its own shop, which supplies uniforms, stationary, and a kiosk for quick food such as sandwiches. It also has its own theater, used for school-plays and assemblies.

   The school also has its own newspaper called the 'School Wave', which is run by the PR Department.

   Its students are all given ID cards, which are used for a variety of purposes, including photo identification, and can provide access to amenities such as borrowing books at the school library, attending school events, and receiving discounts at local stores and movie theaters.

   The school is located on top of a hill, so the city center is quite far away. The academy's emblem looks like a triangle, but it's actually a paw print. Reptiles at the school, who don't have paws, don't seem to like the emblem.

   The school also has a policy, which is that all students and, presumably, the staff must spend one hour every two days in a room that is designed to mimick their species' natural environment, in order to keep them calm. This is referred to as Biology Day. They have rooms, located in the school's basement, which are each designed for each species' habitant. ADVERTISEMENT Uniform

   Cherryton has its own uniform for male and female students, which is the same for both carnivores and herbivores. The school changes its uniform to fit the season. For male students

   In the cold seasons, their uniform consists of a white long-sleeved shirt, an indigo vest, dark gray tie, gray pants with a darker vertical line pattern, and brown loafers. They also have a green blazer with the school's crest on its left breast-pocket, but most students prefer not to wear it except for the odd few, such as Louis.

   In the summer, their uniform loses the shirt, vest and tie, and replaces it with a blue polo shirt.

   For female students

   In the cold seasons, their uniform consists of a white long-sleeved dress with a small bow-tie, a long, knee-length skirt, a yellow belt, white socks, and black Mary Jane shoes. The material for the uniform is supposedly thicker, thus warmer.

   In the summer, their uniform is mostly the same, except they have short sleeves that end in bunches at their shoulders. The material for it is supposedly thinner, thus cooler.

   Other uniforms

   Cherryton also has its students wear a secondary uniform, which just consists of a white shirt and a pair of red trousers or shorts. These are apparently worn during club-hours, as the Drama Club wore them during rehearsals and stage-work, and Haru from the Gardening Club wore them when she was doing her work. The males seem to wear the long-pants, while the females wear shorts.

   Reputation and rumors

   Cherryton seems to be quite a famous school, as even Gohin and the Shishigumi know about its elite status.

   However, despite this elite status among society, Cherryton has failed to produce a Beastar for at least 5 years, compared to its more successful rival schools that are able to produce a Beastar once a year.

   Despite its status as an elite school, it is not without rumors. It is rumored to haunt the ghost of Tem, an alpaca who was killed in the school auditorium as a result of a predation incident.

   Clubs and Extracurricular Activities

   Cherryton Academy is stated in Chapter 53 to have the "highest number of talents". These include:

   Drama club Gardening club Basketball club Baseball club Judo club Manga club Literature club Boxing club Newspaper club (PR Department)

6. #6Carnivore-Herbivore Warselective

   Keys: Carnivore-Herbivore War

   The First Carnivore-Herbivore World War or simply known as the Carnivore-Herbivore War is the name given to the war between carnivorous animals and herbivorous animals that occurred 100 years before the current events.

   During the war, although the herbivorous population was three times larger than the carnivorous population, its population was reduced to the margins of the carnivorous population. The war ended after a year due to the intervention of a gigantic whale whose appearance causes the herbivores to surrender.

   Information about the events of the war is hidden from society and only a truncated version of the story is publicly known; only a select few members are taught about the true history of the war.

   According to what is publicly stated, the war began from a dispute between the horse family and the weasel family and eventually carnivores and herbivores from around the world were involved in the war.

   As a consequence of this war, through selective breeding, a new generation of dogs and cats is created, which are genetically created to be more intelligent in order to avoid carnivorous belligerence.

   The Meteor Festival is celebrated each year in the month of June with the purpose of celebrating the arrival of summer and honoring the spirits of the ancient ancestors of animals, the dinosaurs, who are believed to have died from the impact of a meteorite in a summer day. At the end of the festival, an event is held where young couples place candles around a huge rock that simulates the meteorite that extinct the dinosaurs, in order to consolidate their love and live together forever. Various shows are presented as entertainment in a great stage.

   Rexmas is a holiday due to the religious belief that after the fall of the meteorite that completely extinguished the dinosaurs in prehistoric times, a dinosaur (the T-Rex) came back to life, developed wings and thus evolved into a bird. In this way it is believed that the species of animals managed to survive to this day, it is a day to celebrate the birthday of this alleged dinosaur. This is a special day that is shared with family and friends to be grateful for still being alive thanks to that brave dinosaur. Rexmas is celebrated in December.

   Strange Soul Festival is a festival held in odd-numbered months (January, March, May, July, September and November) It is a festival celebrated to purify the souls of herbivores, who give gratitude for not having been eaten by a carnivore this year and to pray that they will not be eaten in the future. Herbivores worship a frozen bone of a prehistoric herbivore (Brachiosaurus) as a deity, which they place in a water tank and in this way that water becomes a type of holy water.

   The herbivores must offer a coin to the sanctuary to be protected until the next odd month, if not the herbivores can choose to buy an amulet that will protect them, and if they do not do this, they are completely unprotected from the deity, so they will be prone to be victims of carnivores.

    Deep Night is an event that takes place every night of the full moon in the world of Beastars.

    Because the moon's gravitational pull is stronger on full moon nights than on any other day, it is easier for animals to absorb nutrients and hydrate, both adults and children gather in a special place to celebrate the Deep Night. .

    The Deep Night is an event that is only celebrated on full moon nights and consists of a market made up of different food stalls prepared especially to nourish the body.

    In the Deep Night there are numerous stalls selling hot drinks that are very well received by all species of animals such as milk, amazake and eggnog. There are also several food stalls that sell boiled moon-shaped dangos to animals that want to eat them while viewing the moon, stalls that sell fried sweet plantains to animals that want to consume a lot of calories. That's what animals eat while enjoying the light of the full moon.

    Keys: Kindergarten for Hybrid Children, Hybrid · Secondary: Kopi Luwak, Black Market

    The Kindergarten for Hybrid Children is, as its name indicates, a kindergarten specialized in welcoming children of hybrid races. Because other reputable kindergartens and children's centers do not usually admit children of hybrid race, considering them problematic and 'difficult to deal with' (although in reality it is more a matter of discrimination and speciesism), this special, independent kindergarten is dedicated to welcoming in hybrid children who are rejected by other major daycares. This daycare center is located in a hidden area near the Black Market and is run by a female impala. There are few who work as volunteers taking care of children or who donate school supplies to the daycare center. Due to the high concentration of hybrid animals, this kindergarten was targeted by Kopi Luwak, an organization that studies mixed-species animals.

13. #13Blood Bone Drugselective

    Keys: Drug, Blood Bone Drug · Secondary: Melon, Black Market

    Blood Bone Drug is an illegal drug made from a mixture of ground blood and bones of herbivorous animals.

    The drug spreads silently among young carnivores because they buy less meat on the Black Market. For this reason, the merchants attract young people who use the drug and thus give them the meaty taste of it. To do this, the merchants disguise the drug as a new energy drink for carnivores and give them free samples to try with the excuse. of being in an advertising campaign where they want to know your opinion, and thus convert them into meat addicts through this trick.

    Blood Bone Drug frees carnivores from the guilt of eating meat and at the same time satisfies their predatory desires.

    One of the consequences and effects of consuming the bloody bones drug is to cause a state of savagery in carnivores due to its bloody taste. Under the influence of the bloody bones drug, carnivores are more likely to attack herbivores and commit acts of predation, due to the bloodlust that the drug provokes in them. Young carnivores are especially the most likely to fall under the effects of the bloody bones drug, because they have less control of their instincts and have repressed them for longer.

    Melon the hybrid, Shishigumi's current boss, is the creator of this drug.

Despite being a legitimate organization, Kopi Luwak is located in the Black Market and operates clandestinely, ignoring any legal regulations for its research, possibly because these would be stopped by the government due to the institutional rejection of hybrid animals. Decico hires its bats to carry out its tasks clandestinely, such as collecting blood from hybrid animals without their consent, whether they are adults or children. Because of this, Kopi Luwak's acts of investigation have been interpreted as attacks on hybrid animals and the organization has gained a reputation as a terrifying extremist group of purebred supremacists who have an abnormal fixation on purity and seek to purge the hybrids species.

The Phantom Drug business is located in the deepest and most hidden part of the Black Market, where the sale of carnivorous beast meat occurs and the relationship between carnivores and herbivores is reversed. The Phantom Drug is made by combining raw drugs with the muscle tissue of carnivorous beasts. It is highly effective and can be used to enhance muscle development, treat respiratory issues, improve appetite and energy, and address sports or ocular fatigue, among other things. Each part of a carnivore's body provides different effects. These healing techniques are popular and were created for wealthy, superficial, power-hungry, and physically impaired herbivores. Not to mention the carnivores who are desperate for money and are forced to sell parts of their own bodies or others' as raw material.

    Keys: Beast Apartments, Apartment complex

    Beast Apartments is an apartment complex that is fifty-six years old, with a low rent of 25,000 yen per apartment. The building consists of six floors, and all the apartments are just one small room (especially cramped for large animals). The walls are very thin, so noise from neighboring rooms is clearly audible. Except for a series of sinks available for use, the apartments do not have bathrooms, so residents must bathe in public bathhouses.

    In society, for a property to be considered "good," it must meet two requirements: Resident Control (being exclusive to Herbivores or Carnivores) and having a significant distance from the Black Market. Therefore, Beast Apartments, being a building that allows both carnivores and herbivores to live together in the same apartment and has no restrictions for carnivores with criminal records, does not meet these criteria. The building is also located ten minutes on foot from the Black Market, so the neighborhood can be considered dangerous. Beast Apartments is also ten minutes away by train from the city center. Because the building is located so close to the Black Market, a police officer named Kona the Bouncer patrols the place regularly.

17. #17District 0selective

    Keys: District 0, Albino animals

    District 0 is an isolated town exclusively for albino animals. Since animals that are entirely white or suffer from albinism are extremely rare in society, they face the constant danger of being hunted by traffickers seeking to sell their delicious meat and valuable fur, and even their bones, which are used to ward off evil spirits. Because of this, District 0 is a dedicated place that aims to shelter white or albino animals who refer to themselves as "radiants," to protect them from the outside world.

    District 0 appears to have an exaggerated admiration for the color white that so represents its residents, to the point where absolutely everything in the town is white—houses, streets, shops, clothes—everything is completely white. The obsession with radiance among the residents causes the town to be brightly lit at night, to the point where it is impossible to see the stars in the night sky due to light pollution.

    Due to their rarity, the radiants of the town seem to hold a supremacist ideology toward other species, seeing themselves as radiant and beautiful, promoting camaraderie among their fellow citizens, and considering that leaving the town would be essentially suicidal. Their ideology is so extreme that when a female resident develops spots on her fur, they demand that she can only live in the town if she has sexual relations with any male in the town who requests it, showing no remorse in degrading a fellow citizen they view as inferior. The police have little to no presence in the area.

18. #18Herbivoresconstantselective

    Keys: Modern Animal Society, Society, Herbivores, Carnivore-Herbivore War

    Herbivores, formerly known as the Animals of Nature, are a group of beast species characterized by their primary diet of plants.

    In contrast to carnivorous beasts, the morphology of herbivorous beasts is much more extensive and varied, with species that differ radically in size and physical characteristics. All herbivores are characterized by their ability to subsist entirely on plants and vegetables.

    Herbivores have notably less physical strength compared to carnivorous animals, making them considerably weaker than carnivores. However, herbivores are known for their performance in intellectual and artistic fields.

    In prehistory, herbivores (then known as "Animals of Nature") did not possess characteristics much different from those of their respective species today. They were highly fertile nomadic animals and, therefore, very prosperous. When they encountered the Animals of Life (carnivores), they were seen as necessary objects of protection for survival.

    For a long period, the Animals of Nature formed a society with the Animals of Life, who became gentler and adopted a peaceful lifestyle. The animals enjoyed a period of peace until the onset of the Carnivore-Herbivore War, during which the Animals of Nature came to be known as "herbivores." Despite the herbivore population being three times larger than the carnivore population, it was reduced to match the carnivores, who ate the carcasses of the herbivores they killed, causing herbivores to despise carnivores. Unexpectedly, a giant whale became involved in the war, leading to the herbivores' surrender and the birth of modern animal society.

    In modern animal society, although herbivore species are fewer in number compared to carnivores, the high birth rates among herbivores mean that their population is considerably larger than that of carnivores, even doubling the carnivore population. As a result, herbivores are the dominant group in animal society. Due to herbivores' greater control over their emotions and their lower risk of succumbing to their instincts and committing acts of Predation, they generally achieve higher social positions, higher incomes, and better family lives. Most prestigious and important jobs are occupied by herbivores, giving them greater power in the social hierarchy, with laws and the social system shaped to ensure their safety from the threat posed by carnivores.

19. #19Carnivoresconstantselective

    Keys: Carnivores, Modern Animal Society, Society, Carnivore-Herbivore War

    Carnivores, formerly known as the Animals of Life, are a group of beast species characterized by their ability to obtain nutrients through the consumption of meat. In society, the classification of carnivores also includes some omnivorous animals, such as bears, canines, and other animals that include meat in their diet.

    The classification of carnivores encompasses many beasts of different species and is divided into both large and smaller species. All these species share a set of physical characteristics that link them together. These characteristics include a much more developed muscular mass, endowing individuals with great strength and speed. They also possess sharp senses suited for hunting, such as a keen sense of smell and eyes with tapetum lucidum that provide them with excellent night vision.

    Most carnivores are mammals, and except for a few exceptions, they have sharp claws on both their hands and feet, and large fangs. The only exceptions are birds, which have beaks instead of fangs and claws only on their feet, and snakes, which have no limbs.

    Carnivores have an incredibly fast metabolism that allows their bodies to absorb proteins quickly and develop at a rapid rate, especially during adolescence.

    In prehistoric times, carnivores were beings with proportions even larger than their modern counterparts, reaching heights of about 3 meters and weights of 200 kilograms. They exhibited intelligent behavior and a strong sense of camaraderie, allowing them to treat their companions with compassion, kindness, and even protection. However, they were very wild, and when they fought among themselves, it was always to the death, with the winner devouring the loser. They were known as "Animals of Life" because they fed on living beings. Animals of Life managed to survive due to their physical strength, but their population growth was stagnant and their culture underdeveloped until they encountered the Herbivores, then known as "Animals of Nature." The Animals of Life perceived the Animals of Nature as individuals worthy of protection, likely because their survival instincts told them that aiding the Animals of Nature would be beneficial.

    Due to the high fertility and prosperity of the Animals of Nature, they accepted the Animals of Life. Through the contributions of both groups, they managed to form a society. Over a long period, the Animals of Life became gentler and ceased to eat meat. They obtained proteins by consuming eggs and milk provided by the Animals of Nature and adopted a peaceful lifestyle, progressively becoming smaller and leaner.

    The Animals of Life enjoyed an extended period of peace until, 100 years ago, a conflict between a family of horses and a family of weasels eventually involved the Animals of Life and Animals of Nature worldwide, starting the Carnivore-Herbivore World War. Although the Animals of Life outnumbered the Animals of Nature, their numbers dwindled to parity, with no carcasses found because the Animals of Life consumed them. The war ended when a whale became involved in the conflict, leading to the surrender of the Animals of Nature. After the war, the Animals of Life came to be known as "carnivores," and the concept of meat and its consumption was illicitly reestablished in the black market, marking the beginning of modern animal society.

    In modern animal society, carnivores are taught to control their strength from a young age, but they sometimes lose control. It is not uncommon for a carnivore to accidentally rip off a limb from a herbivore, which is why all hospitals are required to have reimplantation programs, resulting in relatively high success rates for surgeries.

    Modern society is stricter with carnivores, instructing them to consider it taboo to show their claws and fangs to herbivores, harm them, and, in extreme cases, they can be arrested for having disputes with herbivores. Most carnivores take pride in their great physical strength, exhibit macho behavior, and tend to belittle and pity herbivores. Due to their great strength, carnivores seek jobs requiring physical power, such as laborers, police forces, and sports.

    Because carnivores’ bodies limit their food choices, they consider carbohydrates an important source of energy due to how well they satisfy their appetite. For carnivores, eating is a testament to being alive and a way to prove their existence. Carbohydrates like hard bread help them control their urge to bite something, while glutinous rice is considered a high-class food, a luxury.

    Carnivores have a great appreciation for their superior physical strength, so many of them enjoy finding situations where they can show off their strength and gain admiration from others.

    Despite the great strength they possess in their limbs, they believe that the true strength of a carnivore is determined by the power of its jaw. To measure jaw strength among carnivores, there is an exclusive game called "tug-of-war," where two male carnivores pull a rope with their teeth until the opponent’s head crosses a line placed in the middle. However, since the game can be unsettling for herbivores due to the wild expressions carnivores might make while pulling the rope, playing it in public (especially in the presence of herbivores) is considered taboo.

The actual functionality and structure of the Horns Conglomerate are unknown; it is publicly known that the conglomerate has significant influence in animal society, but its primary businesses are not specified.

    The entire management of the Horns Conglomerate is exclusively herbivorous, and they do not hire carnivores as employees, except for individual jobs such as bodyguard services. This has led to a strong discrimination against carnivores within the Horns Conglomerate.
