They'd come to inspect the dragons forge. Everyone said the dragon was working there of their own will. Everyone said the main smiths were dragons. They didn't believe it. Even when the dragons showed them, they refused to believe it. Why else would they allow HUMANS to work here too? Or make things for others besides other dragons?
There's always ONE of those beings to show up from time to time. That needs a solid kick in the pants before they are willing to listen, and actually SEE what's right in front of them.

They marched into Featherforge with placards and chants. They made a huge amount of noise, and disrupted a lot of work in progress. White hot metal had to be urgently quenched. Flames had to be quelled. Tools had to be put down in a hurry. Guard rails had to be placed in a rush.
"Two, four, six, eight! Dragons must in-cin-er-ate! One, two, three, four! Let these Dragons out to soar!"
One of them ran straight up to the Dragon on duty, making shoo-ing motions like she thought the Dragon would act like a bird. "Fly! Fly, be free!" She capered about right in front of a head the size of a small hut. "You are no longer a slave to these violent oppressors!"
Hyndarmon, the on-duty Dragon, made herself comfortable and produced an irritated growl that the protestors could feel in their bones. This failed to make an impression.
