Brendan Ryu It was not the first time Napoleon pronouncing a death sentence to another animal. On the inception of the book, Napoleon and the pigs made sure the animals followed certain, important rules which applied to all the animals, including the pigs. Moreover, there was a “Do not kill any other animal” rule and it is broken by Napoleon up in that quote. If the animals mention to Napoleon about the rule, he is going to answer that he has the authority since he is governing the farm and people getting in his way should be dead.
