They make their own rules without the help of the other animals, which instantly make them have more power over the others. The rules that the pigs make are written on the wall of a barn.

“The mystery of where the milk went to was soon cleared up. It was mixed every day into the pigs’ mash” (Orwell 35). The milk and apples of the farm had been mysteriously disappearing, but it turns out that the pigs had been smuggling them in all along. “‘We pigs are brainworkers. The whole management and organisation of this farm depend on us. Day and night we are watching over your welfare. It is for your sake that we drink milk and eat those apples’” (Orwell 36). It is implied in Squealer’s quote that the pigs’ stealing of the milk and apples can be justified, because it is for the well-being of the animals. This is evidence of the pigs’ incorrect use of intelligence leading to corruption. In addition to this, the pigs’ brainwashing of the animals is evident in the character Boxer.

The maggots instantly started feeding off of the piglet’s organs and skin tissue. You could see the maggots moving within the skin of the piglets. Bees, spiders, crickets, beetles, and even ants quickly appeared and began to have such a huge fascination with the piglets as well. Every insect that appeared was just feeding off of the

Ignorance is one of the key factors that led to the totalitarian rule as well as enslavement of the animals on the farm. Education plays a diminutive role during the whole story.

Pigs are unable to move in their cages. The baby pig ears, tails are cut off and their teeth are chopped off to prevent them from harming other pigs. They are castrated without any pain killer. The baby pigs are given antibiotics to promote rapid growth. Their body grows, so fast, the legs become crippled. Many pigs are ill, but are kept alive to be shipped off to slaughter to get a profit.

Most pigs arrive at the slaughter lame or dead from the crowdedness during transporting. Pigs are electrically shocked to move on the killing floor of the slaughtering
Through this education the pigs plan to gain power over the farm and do not plan on teaching the other animals to read and write in order to keep the power for themselves. Once they used education to gain power, they started to use manipulation. They manipulate the other animals to believe everything they want them to believe. With their superior knowledge it was natural that they should assume leadership over the farm. This shows that the pigs used education as a way to get out of working and leading the farm
Mother pigs spend most of their miserable lives in tiny gestation and farrowing crates so small that they can’t even turn around and forced to get pregnant over and over again, until their bodies can’t handle it anymore.. Males are either killed immediately, or castrated at a young age then kept only for their meat. Piglets, in general, are torn away from their mothers after only a few weeks, tails are chopped off, and the ends of their teeth are snipped off, then the spend days to weeks to months in cramped, crowded pens on slabs of filthy concrete until it gets decided what will happen to them.
