Farmers Pilkington and Frederick were worried about Animal Farm because it represented a challenge to their own power and control over their farms. The successful rebellion and the establishment of an independent, self-sufficient society threatened the traditional hierarchy of human dominance. They feared that the revolutionary ideas of Animalism could inspire their own animals to revolt, leading to potential disruptions in their businesses. Consequently, they plotted to undermine and sabotage Animal Farm to protect their interests and maintain the status quo.
