Me being me, I took the predators as an allegory for religion, and the savagery thing with predators being excluded as a metaphor for Islam and other religions and how they are sometimes treated by some people, with horrifying incidents being used to justify fear of a whole population, but I don't really know.
I mean, the end of the movie being what it is, doesn't that imply that the U.S. Government was sniping certain people with Evilness Darts, and thus, Disney is really trying to tell us that 9/11 was (Oh gosh, why do I have to even think this) an "inside job"?
Rozzy, don't think about big social issues when you're sleep-deprived. Especially not through the lens of heavy metaphor and summer movie.
It works a bit better if you think of it as a racism metaphor, but I don't think there's any one direct comparison that can be made with it. The Predator/Prey comparison just doesn't have a direct corollary

I just kinda assumed Zootopia was meant as a more general "this is how prejudice, discrimination, and unequal power structures can affect people" with it being left to the viewer as to how to apply the lessons to their real lives.

it felt like there were a lot of race parallels deliberately thrown in but even those were ambiguous

I've learned to tolerate drama...except on the boat
There are probably not going to be more than two or three of them, and their main reason for being would be to serve as R&D labs for Warner City in Florida, and also because Centie thinks aping the Disney and Universal strategy of having the park be only in a warm climate is unfair to middle America.

It definitely works best on a racial level than anything else, especially with Bellweather's speech referring to the inherent savagery of predators and whatnot

I got a job!
It's a one-off thing that's just for tonight, but I'll take it. I need the money.

Bluh. I called and told them I can't work tonight after all because only now did I realize that this shift would force me to be awake 26 hours straight.

I feel guilty about this. I should have paid attention to what I was being offered and realized that I couldn't do it.
Instead I accepted, realized hours later that it would mean having to drive all the way across down after being awake 26 hours, and backed out. How am I going to get anywhere in life if I can't commit to things?

Windows Defender, by default, is configured to do a daily scan.
Lately I've been manually initiating the scan because I want the time in the "Last scan:" box to feel, for lack of a better word, satisfying. "Last scan: 2:58 PM" is satisfying. "Last scan: 2:31 PM" is not.
Somehow today I managed to get even more neurotic when my crazy self realized I could change the system clock to get exactly the time I want instead of waiting for a certain time to hit "Scan now".
Well, my mom's employers, the guys who are killing the industry of U.S.-based transcription through outsourcing and speech recognition, are telling my mom to work for rates that are based on Indian Transcription. My mom doesn't even pay her workers that little the first week of hiring.
Those people will be burning in heck someday, for what they've done to my mother.
This is why I hate speech recognition and computer science. Every time you innovate, you ruin lives.
When I grow up, I'm going to either kill Siri, or the entire country of India.

4 But it displeased Jonah exceedingly, and he was very angry.
2 And he prayed unto the Lord, and said, I pray thee, O Lord, was not this my saying, when I was yet in my country? Therefore I fled before unto Tarshish: for I knew that thou art a gracious God, and merciful, slow to anger, and of great kindness, and repentest thee of the evil.
3 Therefore now, O Lord, take, I beseech thee, my life from me; for it is better for me to die than to live.
4 Then said the Lord, Doest thou well to be angry?
5 So Jonah went out of the city, and sat on the east side of the city, and there made him a booth, and sat under it in the shadow, till he might see what would become of the city.
6 And the Lord God prepared a gourd, and made it to come up over Jonah, that it might be a shadow over his head, to deliver him from his grief. So Jonah was exceeding glad of the gourd.
7 But God prepared a worm when the morning rose the next day, and it smote the gourd that it withered.
8 And it came to pass, when the sun did arise, that God prepared a vehement east wind; and the sun beat upon the head of Jonah, that he fainted, and wished in himself to die, and said, It is better for me to die than to live.
9 And God said to Jonah, Doest thou well to be angry for the gourd? And he said, I do well to be angry, even unto death.
10 Then said the Lord, Thou hast had pity on the gourd, for the which thou hast not laboured, neither madest it grow; which came up in a night, and perished in a night:
11 And should not I spare Nineveh, that great city, wherein are more than sixscore thousand persons that cannot discern between their right hand and their left hand; and also much cattle?

Thanks, Odra. That helps a lot. I should not be so angry.

RESURGAM.
At least it's a change of pace.
Who wants to bet I'll get Berserker? Again. For the third year in a row.

Two dead men got up to fight
Back to back they faced each other
Drew their swords and shot each other

On the other hand, India did give us this.
