And not just any animal either...something along the lines of industrial farm animals it would appear.

Yes, it is. In this the Japanese are something of a modern light. They've refused to sell their physical peoplehood as a commodity and retaining their culture to the best of their ability, this despite being under military occupation and pressured to 'change', they've reaped rich rewards for themselves. Sure they're not perfect, no one is, but they've saved themselves a lot of grief due to their actions up to now.

People are today enslaved to the system more than ever before, but everyone speaks of "individualism" and "freedom".

Yeah, a lot of dysfunctionality all over the place it would seem.
