There are disturbing reports from Animal Farm that leaders Napoleon, Squealer, and other pigs are abusing their power. Reports have shown that Boxer, an overworked horse collapsed after sustaining an injury. Multiple reports confirm that the pigs knew that Boxer would not get better. The pigs say they are going to send him to a veterinary hospital in Willingdon. No other animal had ever left the farm and they do not want Boxer in the hands of humans. The pigs’ actions are contradictory to one of the Seven Commandments: “Whatever goes upon two legs is an enemy.”
There are other reports that a wagon labeled “Alfred Simmonds, Horse Slaughterer, and Glue Boiler, Willingdon.” When reporters questioned Squealer, he responded that the veterinary staff in Willingdon
actually bought the wagon from horse slaughter Alfred Simmons. Benjamin the donkey feels Boxer is doomed. “They are taking Boxer to the Knackers!” The Animals think this is suspicious as former comrades Mollie and Snowball disappeared. Finally, there are rumors that the money obtained from Boxer’s death is being used to by crates of Whiskey for the pigs.

Many of you have probably heard of the “Animal Farm” rebellion happening at Manor Farm right now, and for those of you who haven’t, let me tell you a bit. It started over a year ago when the animals on Manor Farm were getting fed up with Farmer Jones and humans in general. They ran Jones and his family off of the farm and began to run it themselves. Many have tried to get a glimpse of the inside since it started, but none have succeeded; that’s what I’m here for. I have the very first inside look of what life is like on Animal Farm, and you’ll only see it here!
When I first arrived I noticed that there seemed to be one main leader that all of the animals followed orders from, a Berkshire boar named Napoleon. It looked to me as if he led the whole show, and that every animal loved him. There was also Squealer, another pig, who was the brains of the operation. His specialty was manipulating the animals to believe that Napoleon was always right. It was worrisome to see all of the animals falling into the trap so easily. I took notes of the things that concerned me the most and how they could go about being solved.
I noticed that the pigs had much bigger food rations than the other animals. It was worrisome to see the rest of the animals starving and losing weight while the pigs sat by and watched it all happen without any problem. As the other animals struggled the pigs put on weight and didn’t bother to share their larger meals with anyone else. None of the animals saw it as unfair or unjust, they were told that if the rations were too equal it would go against the principles of “Animalism” (this is what they had named the concept of animals being superior against humans and overthrowing them). Squealer told the other animals that even though it may look like they have uneven rations that it was not the case and that everything was equal, which was far from the truth. This problem could be solved by the pigs sharing their food, or even checking that everyone had equal rations. Each of the animals should get the minimal of what is needed to keep them healthy, because each animal needs a different amount of food but if everyone has a healthy ration then it would make more sense.
When one of the horses, Boxer, got injured with a collapsed lung while working, the pigs manipulated the other animals into thinking that they were sending him off to the hospital to be healed. They actually sold him off to a company that would use Boxer’s body for meat and glue, but the animals didn’t know until he was already in the truck being taken away. None of the animals bothered to question their motives of sending him off and they believed that Boxer was going to the hospital to get better, they didn’t think twice that the pigs may have an ulterior motive for sending him off. The animals should learn to think for themselves if the pigs don’t stop their manipulation, but by the looks of it neither of those will be happening anytime soon.
