I've seen signs that much the same thing might happen stateside -- the Native Americans are claiming that anyone who uses anything even remotely 'Indian' (symbology, religious reference, really just about anything) should be sued for their contribution to the Nazi-esque cultural holocaust. And since animal-people play a role in so many Native mythologies, and there seems to be this large group of artists out there who like drawing pics of them, well...
