Second-class citizen

Through all my years growing up one thing has always been there, Velociraptors. Every body throughout the country has experienced these scaly dinosaurs. They hide in darkness throughout the day and come out at night. Velociraptors are extremely smart animals, much like humans, and all they want is equal rights. Velociraptors are innocent creatures at heart but when they get hungry they cannot control themselves. Therefore it is hard for velociraptors to live a normal life because they are shunned from society.
The problem first started with raptors in 1776. They helped Americans defeat the British and fought for freedom. While forming the constitution, raptors were given equal rights along with the humans. They lived happily together in harmony for many years and many raptors had high government positions along with the humans. Then in 1861 a human was being very harsh to a raptor and nearly killed it. Other raptors in the area came rushing over and killed the human. Word of this spread throughout the country and rumor of a civil war had been roaming around. The war would be between the North and South. Since raptors are reptiles they need a warmer climate and primarily lived in the South. Two months after the human was killed war broke out between the species and the nation became split into two separate Countries. The raptors elected a Prime Minister whose name was Raptor. The raptors did not want war though and Prime Minister Raptor tried to negotiate peace agreements with the North. They had tried so hard to prove to America that raptors are gentile creatures and what happened to the human would never happen again. However the humans did not care and started the war.
The war went on for many years and in 1865 finally ended. It made sense that the raptors lost because they do not have opposable thumbs therefore cannot hold guns. Raptors had relied on gorilla warfare but it was not enough to win. In the end President Lincoln met with Prime Minister Raptor and finally achieved peace. Velociraptors would never have the same rights again. The humans rewrote the constitution after the war and did not include raptors anymore. Since then raptors have been treated as second-class citizens. This is the sad but true story of Velociraptors. Even in today’s society Velociraptors are still shunned. Some people say that the raptors are plotting an attack against the humans. America hopes this never happens.

  3. I'm going to be honest, I think this is a bit ridiculous. There are no velociraptors alive, and there hasn't been for a while. It's kind of odd that you would choose to write about something like this. And why did you remove the previous 2 comments?

  5. Kevin, I often wonder what prompts you to write about such abstract subjects. Like Dan said, Velociraptors haven't been around for such a long time. I must say though, you have a creative thumb.

  6. If you think that the plight of the Velociraptors is bad, you've never heard of the horrors undergone by the Torosauruses. They were enslaved in 1248 during the Seventh Crusade and treated like beasts of burden by the invading Europeans. In the mid-nineteenth century, they made some headway and were given more rights and became second class citizens. Eventually they were freed from enslavement, but great amounts of species-ism relegated them to poverty and suffering working as snow plows and going to children's birthday parties. However, as of this year, the Torosauruses have been reclassified as a mature form of Triceratops, thereby taking away all of the unique culture and society created by these dinosaurs. It really appalls me to see the amount of injustice dinosaurs have put up with for all these years.
