Who do the dogs try to kill, but fail? Why do you think Napoleon wanted to eliminate this character? Chapter 7

You know, I’ve always been confused about that. But I’ll try to give this my best shot. I’ve got a guess.

Napoleon had already taught the dogs to hate Snowball, and it’s not a stretch that he also taught them to hate Boxer. Think about it. Snowball and Boxer both were given Animal Hero, First Class in the Battle of the Cowshed, Napoleon wasn’t. They were both threats to his authority.

Snowball was constantly disagreeing with him, and though Boxer was loyal, he was much more beloved on the farm than Napoleon, which was also threatening. He was probably planning to eliminate Boxer ever since he got the litter of puppies to train.

He taught them to associate Snowball and Boxer with fear, but he hadn’t worked out how we was going to get rid of Boxer yet, and he was afraid of losing support if he let Boxer have to defend himself against the dogs. Boxer probably would have been fine fighting them, but the animals would be confused on why Napoleon let his dogs attack him.

Boxer ended up digging his own grave by stubbornly trying to work with his collapsed lung and broken hoof. He basically handed Napoleon the opportunity to send him to the knacker on a silver platter. Napoleon ended up not needing the dogs to kill him.

he is honest with congress and america about the difficulty of the war ahead.
