There is a description of animals on other farms: “Bulls which had always been tractable suddenly turned savage, sheep broke down hedges and devoured the clover, cows kicked the pails over, hunters refused their fences and shot their riders on to the other side. Above all, the tune and even the words of “Beasts of England” were known everywhere.” What are these examples of?

• Other animals’ rebelliousness.

• Other animals’ calmness.
