Seven Commandments
The seven commandments that the animals live by are:
- Whatever goes upon two legs is an enemy.
- Whatever goes upon four legs, or has wings, is a friend.
- No animal shall wear clothes.
- No animal shall sleep in a bed.
- No animal shall drink alcohol.
- No animal shall kill any other animal.
- All animals are equal.
I don’t think these are good rules for the animals to live by because if they believe everything that walks on two legs is an enemy then they will never never get food or be able to live comfortably. Also there’s really no point in living by most of these rules because they are slowly changing them all anyway to fit the lifestyle they want to live.
I think in the future the animals will change every one of the commandments so that they can do whatever they want without having a guilty conscience.
