George Orwell's Animal Farm

Animalism is a massive threat to the future of animals, meaning no animal is ever safe from harm. Every animal has just the same rights as we do so why aren't they treated like it? Every day thousands of animals are whipped or even killed for doing no wrong. If this continues billions of animals will die meaning humans will have to do everything for themselves. This must change otherwise your children will not be able to see the fascinating creatures that we can see today. This isn't just a human world its our world including animals.

Over the years there have been many heroic stories about Animalism but historians believe there's only one that towers above the rest, the story of Manor Farm.

Manor Farm was owned by a brutal, cruel man called Mr. Jones who always came home drunk. The farm was a slave plantation, the animals were fed garbage rations in the freezing, filthy, mould-ridden accommodation, they were victims of this horrid race. But still Mr. Jones believed it wasn't his responsibility on how the animals were treated, he thought it didn't matter if the animals were treated like slaves all he cared about was making profits from them.

Nevertheless in the cruel presence of Mr Jones there was still a heroic figure, a tyrant, a martyr of an animal, Old Major. One night once Mr Jones had gone to bed the animals gathered in the main barn, where Old major planned to have a rebellion. He said comrades we must dispose of man and make a farm for the animals run by the animals all the animals cheered and whispered secret words about it. It was a heroic night that would go down in history!

However sadly that night Old Major died in his sleep so it was now up to napoleon and snowball to lead. The idea of a rebellion was still strong so the next day led by Boxer the animals broke down the gate and stormed out, pecking and hitting Mr. Jones viciously, until he finally ran away. It was fantastic the farm was finally theirs. They really were the owners off Manor Farm. Now there was nobody to force them to work long hours. The slave plantation could finally be transformed into a haven for animals, no more rationed food or filthy living conditions but state of the art appliances.

However, despite the animals wanting to live in compete freedom they put together seven rules about equality, all reminders of man were destroyed and the farm was now called Animal Farm.

But nevertheless there was still one animal, a traitor, a ruthless, greedy person
