* How are there modern domestic animals in this world, like goats and cows? The cave people clearly haven't evolved to the point of discovering agriculture or animal husbandry, and it doesn't seem like the dinosaurs have bothered with it either since we mostly see the carnivorous dinosaurs eat live, wild prehistoric mammals.

** It's also possible that it's not the idea of killing that scares the dinosaurs and seems dangerous--it's the idea of killing for ''no reason.'' As you say, the show is full of dinosaurs hurting, killing, and eating each other, but those are treated as part and parcel of their lives: dinosaur society runs heavily on [[TheSocialDarwinist "eat or be eaten"]], and everyone accepts that as part of the natural order of things. However, the war against the four-legged dinos is based on a small land dispute that doesn't need to escalate. It's explicitly stated that this is the first war in history, and the more rational dinosaurs are rightly terrified of the idea of killing at random just because has a different appearance.

[[folder: Discrimination Against Four-footed Anthros?]]
* Four-legged dinosaurs are separated from two-legged dinosaurs as if they are different races and often face discrimination because of it. But how does it work? Most of the "four-legged" dinosaurs, such as BP Richfield, are species that are known to have been quadrupedal yet they walk on two legs like humans. IIRC, the only major character who actually walks on four legs is Monica. So how does four-legged discrimination work in a world of anthropomorphized dinosaurs?

* In the ''Nuts To War'' 2 Parter, why are the Dinosaurs acting so wimpy? Spitting at each other? Throwing dirt balls and sticks? They're ''Dinosaurs'', and the show continually shows they hurt, kill, and even eat each other! But all of a sudden the idea of throwing ''sticks'' is too dangerous for them!
