The Griffon Kingdom has a deep love of meat. But how it gets its meat hides a dark secret. And the death of a young activist may be the spark that brings that secret to light. Can Haley Long, American Dragon and Sheriff Applejack uncover the truth? Now, the enjoyment of the Griffon Kingdom's love of meat and the analysis of the Meat Industry within it draws on parallels in our own society. This is what I think makes this sort of story work: it's more true and more possible than you'd like it to be. There's few things that scare us more than somebody holding up a mirror to us, making us see terrible truths.
As for the ending, well...trust me, I'll elaborate more on that in a different story. ;)
