Upon meeting Gouhin, Legoshi mentally remarks that it makes perfect sense for a Panda - a species that shouldbe an obligate carnivore but feeds only on bamboo - to be a great source of information for adhering to a non-meat diet.
Later in the series, it's shown that avian characters who are capable of flight can fly others around on their backs. It makes sense they'd be capable of this. Most flying birds, especially carnivorous ones (which we see the most of), spend their lives flying around and hauling other animals with them note typically as food, though it's largely nonapplicable here. As for why it'd be on their backs and not holding onto them, well their arms are used in flying, and they have shoes that they'd wear everywhere, so riding on their back is the only option. It can be considered like giving someone a piggyback for them.
Riz's name is pretty meaningful, whether it was intentional or not. He is a grizzly bear, after all! His name in Japanese is "Rizu", which means "mighty" and "powerful" in Arabic.
After Louis's Big Damn Heroes moment against Bill, he tells Legoshi to leave it to him, but warns him not to let the audience see his back. This isn't just to hide Legoshi's injury - anyone who's taken even a single theatre class will tell you that one thing a stage actor shouldn't do is show their full back to the audience.
The mere existence of the Black Market. People are getting KILLED AND SOLD AS FOOD, and nobody's doing anything about it.
Allegedly, most of the meat comes from hospitals and funeral homes, but it's undeniable that some amount of it comes from such cases.
Even more horrifyingly, some herbivores go to the Black Market with the intent of selling their flesh or even being eaten. As on the first trip to the Black Market, Legoshi and friends come across an herbivore who put a price tag on each of his own fingers.
Yafya clarifies later that it's Necessarily Evil to keep predation incidents under control.
It's not even only carnivores who use the Black Market. There are herbivores in the Black Market who go there specifically to purchase carnivore parts for use in medicine. Our viewpoint into this being an elderly herbivore who ends up deciding to have someone's genitals cut off because of the perceived belief it would allow him to have a few final nights with his wife by helping him get it up.
Why does the Whale who ended the Carni-Herbi War need to wait until the land animals have sorted out their own problems for the most part before sharing fish sausage with them? The act of sharing it with them actually brings their society closer together and it's not as if it's a question of whether they're worth helping because fish don't value their lives apparently. Then again, considering the sheer number of aborted arcs and unfired Chekhov's guns present everywhere in the final arc combined with the fact that Paru herself confirmed the end of the series was rushed by her editors, it's not out of the question that his message was originally intended to be much different and this was a last minute change due to her not being given enough time to make her original plan work.
