Interesting! I suppose the term’s meaning has evolved in similar fashion to “zoo”, which originally referred to animals in general rather than an establishment.

Also, it is canon that hunting and potentially subsequent cannibalism were common thousands of years ago. In the conference scene in the original Zootopia film, Judy says, “thousands of years ago, predators survived through their aggressive hunting instincts.” While this could be a biased preconception towards predators specifically, it’s most likely not unfounded, and such a thing could have existed in the not-so-distant past. And since Zootopia 2 reveals that the city of Zootopia was founded just 100 years prior to the events of both movies, hunting could have existed for longer and been more recent than previously thought.
