Detailed explanation-1: -Major starts off the meeting by sharing his vision of a world where animals existed without man. Starting off by saying that he knows that he won’t be around much longer, he tells of a dream he had in which Man is the root of all animals’ problems.
Detailed explanation-2: -The Old Major said that the nature of their lives (animal lives) is miserable, laborious and short. Animals were born, given as much food as would keep the breath in their bodies. And those of them who were capable were forced to work to the last of their strength.
