Perhaps it was option 2 or 3 originally which is why all the names are the same but over time transitioned into option 1 in a sort of abolition movement.
I could imagine the dairy and veal industry being a very sore subject for cows in zootopia, and casual references to dairy products might be a painful barb for them.
It is, but they retain the same names as dairy products did. If it was option 4, the cows in society would be separate from the milked creatures, so they might be totally unaffected by thinking about the dairy industry. It is unpleasant for different reasons, though
That’s what I’m saying. I’m interpreting “original names” to mean that they used to be made out of cow dairy products (instead of just happening on the same names we use), so option three is the only one where the cows in society might be totally unconnected to the dairy industry.
And those “lesser” chickens are created by injecting chickens after birth with something that makes them essentially mentally disabled, though they are still sentient
based on all the shit that cars 2 not only implies but explicitly shows on screen (genetically inferior racial underclass hell-bent on destruction of the civilised world, engine transphobia, sentient beings welded in place to do their work, force-feeding a man until his heart literally explodes out of his body, cartholicism), i would not at all be surprised if it turned out to be 3.
We have three options here:
All dairy products are actually non-dairy equivalents that happened to just take the original names.
There are equally intelligent milk-producing species that either keep themselves in a milk producing state or are otherwise forced into said state.
Or
There is an unseen slave caste of lesser intelligent members of species that are harvested for their products.
Option 1: the best way to do things, but probably counts as a microaggression
Option 2.1: probably what Disney would go with
Option 2.2: the fanfiction explanation
Option 3: the grimdark version

How would option 1 be a microagression?

Isn’t option 1 all dairy products being non dairy? I’m sorry am i just particularly slow?

All mammals produce milk, not just cows.
Assuming zootopia never had a cows milk industry, dairy wouldn’t be wrongly assumed to just mean bovine milk.

lmao #3 is how they do it in bojack horseman. There’s an intelligent chicken who has a “lesser” dumb chicken farm
And those “lesser” chickens are created by injecting chickens after birth with something that makes them essentially mentally disabled, though they are still sentient
You know what?
Bojack should be depressed. His whole society should be destroyed. I’m glad I stopped watching the sad horse show.
It was a source of joy for me. I still miss the sad horse.

This is why you don’t see monkeys in zootopia
Option 4.
It’s a planet of the apes situation.
