African American Animal Rights

George Orwell believes that “[Everyone] is equal but some [people] are more equal than others.” In Orwell’s famous book Animal Farm, all the animals are equal but somehow the pigs have more rights, this means the pigs can live a more comfortable life with more power while the rest of the animals don’t. In the book everyone starts equal but the pigs gain more power. Although all the animals have the same rights the pigs have more, for example everyone has the right to live but the pigs can change that like when they changed “No animal shall kill another animal” to “No animal shall kill another animal without cause”.
