“Around 13,000 people attended a demonstration in the German city of Hamburg on Saturday to protest against animal testing. The demonstration was organized amid fears of animal abuse in a nearby facility.”. This shows the affection some people have with animals, and how they care for them without causing them any damage. Subsequently, Exploitation of animals is not only making them work, but also doesn't taking care of them. George Orwell states in his novel Animal Farm “The men had milked the cows in the early morning and then had gone out rabbiting, without bothering to feed the animals.”. In this phrase we can observe that Mr. Jones, who was the owner of the farm and the owner of all the animals, hired some farmers to take care of the animals, however they forgot to feed the animals, so we can deduce that Orwell try here to explain the connection humans had with the animals also tried to explain that humans treat other species as they were only for making benefits for us and for experiments. Also, Orwell in his novel Animal Farm decided to replace humans and represent them as humans because we can relate slavery in the past years, and exploitation of animals. “Slavery refers to a condition in which individuals are owned by others, who control where they live and at what they work” Holark Gyur (2009), and basically thats how humans treat other species; as trash. As Orwell writes in his novel Animal Farm “When Mr. Jones got back and immediately went to sleep on the drawing−room sofa with the News of the World over his face, so that when evening came, the animals were still unfed. At last they could stand it no longer. One of the cows broke in the door of the store−shed with her horn and all the animals began to help themselves from the bins.”. This basically shows how the animals that were represented as humans got tired of being ignored, and that they want freedom and stop being abused. Additionally, Orwell in his novel tried to show us how humans force the animals to work by making them produce benefits for us. As already stated this is because citizens don't care about other species than them. According to what George Orwell said in his novel Animal Farm “"Now, comrades, what is the nature of this life of ours? Let us face it: our lives are miserable, laborious, and short. We are born, we are given just so much food
