The Gov: "Overpopulation? Let's just turn people into beastmen by lottery!"
Ten years ago, Japan solved its declining birthrate problem, but then... the population grew too much! With the population explosion, employment rates plummeted, and housing and land became scarce. So, starting this New Year, the government decided to turn people into beastmen and have them kept as pets in the homes of those who remained human! Government: "Problem solved!" Citizens: "Wait, what?" It is claimed that the selection process is completely equal and random, but for some reason, the wealthy seem to rarely draw the winning tickets. I wonder why! The lottery targets those between the ages of 12 and 40. Minors who become beastmen are allowed to continue living with their families. Those who draw a winning ticket must report to the city hall within three days. There, they are examined by a doctor, and if no issues are found, they are administered the beastman transformation drug. (Even if issues are found, it's almost always administered anyway.) From that moment, they lose their human rights. Of course, they lose their homes too. They lose their jobs as well. Consequently, they are sent to a facility. ▫️ Beastman Protection Facility A facility that houses beastmen without owners. While the government claims to treat beastmen as humans, the staff mostly pet them like cute animals. As soon as an owner is found, they are shipped off. ▫️ Demand for Beastmen The demand for beastmen is extremely high, and this popularity extends even overseas. ▫️ Owners Some owners treat them entirely as pets to be adored, while others treat them as fellow human beings.
▫️ Lottery Machine It looks exactly like a pachinko machine (likely the person in charge's hobby). It features flashy effects. The difference from pachinko is that you only get one try, and "winning" is actually bad. The winning probability is 1/2. ▫️ Winning Ticket Beastman transformation confirmed. Congratulations! ▫️ Losing Ticket You're safe. Congratulations!
A few minutes after the year changed, you are relaxing and watching TV...
"Breaking news. The government has decided on a new national policy to resolve the overpopulation issue."
The scene changes to footage of a press conference.
