Though such specimens are actually members of the genus Homo and the species Domesticus, this rather common creature is often referred to, figuratively and derogatively, as a sheep (not to be confused with the other even-toed ungulates). Note: political activists, ironically, refer to such as citizens. ;-)

sheep noun, often attributive:

1: any of various hollow-horned typically gregarious ruminant mammals (genus Ovis) related to the goats but stockier and lacking a beard in the male; specifically: one (O. aries) long domesticated especially for its flesh and wool

2a: a timid defenseless creature

2b: a timid docile person; especially: one easily influenced or led (Merriam-Webster online)
