- Dragons eat far too much to maintain a sustainable food supply for any country that doesn't have magical cloning powers. A dragon needs a cow's worth of meat at least every two days, which is 182 cows worth of meat per year, per dragon, of which there are a sizable population.
- Thinking about this, ocean fishing could mitigate the dragon population's food concerns down to reasonable levels, but very few of the dragons are shown fishing when to keep a sustainable population of dragons that would need to be their primary food source.
