It is critical to know that at that point of time,
Napoleon had become more power-hungry and ambitious, so he would kill anyone who hinders
his rule. So, by using the dogs, the pigs were threatened and coerced to confess to
their falsified accusations against them (paralleled to the show trials in Russia), and
killed as a warning to other animals. But, the animals thought that they have recalled
one of the commandment, saying that:
"no animal shall kill any other
animal"
But, the animals were
scared to voice out their opinions, in fear of being killed by the dogs. They were in a
state of terror, and dared not say that the killings had indeed revoked one of the
commandments. They did not want to suffer the fate of the dogs and the hens, so they did
not say anything, as they did not want Napoleon to think that they were rebelling
against his rule, and suffer the same punishment for their
misdeeds.
