I wouldn't call it that. It's really good, and I'm not really a fan of furry stuff. The draw is mostly the character drama.

I think nearly every character in this is confirmed "not the best grandfather/father/wife/mother/lover/girlfriend/schoolmate/friend/etc. in the world", but that's what makes them interesting to watch. They're imperfect, even though some of the are trying to do a decent job at their relationships.

It's pretty obviously a reference to various forms of traditional eastern medicine (particularly Chinese) where different parts of an animal are used to treat specific ailments.
Ironically, there were other portions that would have been even more gruesome and life-threatening.
