    1. No animal shall drink alcohol.--The pigs find Farmer Jones' whiskey and the animals hear them during a drunken night. The next day the commandment reads, "No animal shall drink alcohol to excess."

    2. No animal shall kill any other animal---At a meeting, Napoleon asks the animals to confess any connections they had with Snowball. Those confessing are killed by the dogs. Napoleon also sends Boxer to the slaughterhouse. The next day the commandment reads " No animal shall kill any other animal without cause."

    3. All animals are equal.At the end of the novel the pigs are walking around on two legs, like humans. The commandment then reads, "All animals are equal, but some are more equal than others."
