The Bird Tribunal

So in our world of animals becoming sentient, there’s a question of “how would all the major groups react?”

Humans are largely stuck between two sides: Prey Races and Predatory Races. Prey Races feel like they’ve been taken advantage of for thousands of years by humans. It’s the cause of some major tension between the Prey Races and Humans and it sometimes makes humans choose policies that would benefit Prey Races more than they may benefit most races including themselves out of feeling guilty for past wrongdoings and a sense of Master/Servant relationship. While Prey Races wish that the meat industry would come to an end, though they realize it’s necessary to give their species money in a world that’s already fully occupied by a dominant species. That’s why they often lobby to take control of their species meat production and continue to produce meat in sacrifice for their species. This willingness to work within this agreement with the Predatory Races and Humans is what grants them sometimes more favorable terms in political envronments.

The Predatory Birds in our story begin to develop their own internal “United Nations” where the major Predatory Birds are represented: Eagles, Ravens, Hawks, etc. To which Capitalist Eagle and Commie Hawks had originally started long before they were known by those titles.

But Commie Hawks and the Bird Tribunal have fallen out of love since then. For example, poultry birds were excluded from the Tribunal because it was originally meant only for Predatory Birds.

The Predatory Birds differ because they view humans’ actions of subjegating prey species as the height of what they’ve accomplished, which doesn’t align with Commie Hawks.

Commie Hawks knows as soon as the Bird Tribunal is started, it’s likely to form into what props up Capitalism and keeps society largely in the same place. But ultimately, his only chance of preventing it is to try to create the Bird Tribunal which rarely works out any time he’s tried, although there are a few instances that can be pointed to in the timelines where it has succeeded.

I’m unsure of what else to say about this group at this time and think it needs time to develop with canon that the community adds.

There’s an undertone to all groups, they all think in the same way.

They view their actions as necessary for the benefit of what they view is society or at least those in soceity that need to progress forward, and they view others outside of their group as the enemy.

Commie Hawks wants the races to together in a way that helps all of them move forward into the future together without leaving anybody behind, but there are those opposed to the success of others.
