who said four legs good two legs bad?
the sheep
bullet::::- the sheep – they show limited understanding of animalism and the political atmosphere of the farm, yet nonetheless they are the voice of blind conformity as they bleat their support napoleon's ideals with jingles during his speeches and meetings with snowball. their constant bleating of "four legs good, two legs bad" was used as a device to drown out any opposition or alternate views from snowball, much as stalin used hysterical crowds to drown out trotsky. towards the latter section of the book, squealer (the propagandist) trains the sheep to alter their slogan to "four legs good, two legs better", which they dutifully do.
animal farm
in george orwell's novel animal farm, this theme of anthropocentrism is also present. whereas originally the animals planned for liberation from humans and animal equality, as evident from the "seven commandments" such as "whatever goes upon two legs is an enemy.", "whatever goes upon four legs, or has wings, is a friend", "all animals are equal."; the pigs would later abridge the commandments with statements such as "all animals are equal, but some animals are more equal than others." and "four legs good, two legs better."
