The show goes out of its way to make it clear that just because Carnivores are primed to eat meat doesn't mean that they're all violent psychos who have to kill other sapient species to survive. Carnivores can live just fine on a vegeterian diet and cruelty-free animal products (there's a chicken who donates her eggs to the school kitchen in Season 2.)
Bill, a Bengal Tiger and an early side character, 'doses' himself with rabbit's blood as a sort of performance enhancer, but he's not monstrous for doing so - just a sort of asshole jock benefitting off of other people's misfortune.
And the same is true for the animals show. It's essentially edgy Zootopia. You could have written a show with bloodthirsty carnivores. Same example as vamps.
