The Seven Commandments are laws that are supposed to keep order and ensure elementary Animalism within Animal Farm. The Seven Commandments were designed to unite the animals together against the humans and prevent animals from following the humans' evil habits. Since not all of the animals can remember them, they are boiled down into one basic statement: "Four legs good, two legs bad!" (with wings counting as legs for this purpose, Snowball arguing that wings count as legs as they are organs of propulsion rather than manipulation), which the sheep constantly repeat, distracting the crowd from the lies of the pigs. The original commandments were:

Whatever goes upon two legs is an enemy.
Whatever goes upon four legs, or has wings, is a friend.
No animal shall wear clothes.
No animal shall sleep in a bed.
No animal shall drink alcohol.
No animal shall kill any other animal.
All animals are equal.

Never realized Moreau used a version of it as well.

Oh, well then, George was making an allusion to the H.G. Wells classic, but I have to acknowledge that Anthony was most likely refering to "Animal Farm" as you say, with the 4 > 2 rather than 2 > 4. I haven't read "Animal Farm" in very long time.

Sayer of the Law: To go on two legs is very hard. Perhaps four is better, anyway.

Sayer of the Law: It is a hard way, the way of being a man. Sooner or later we all want a thing that is bad. To walk on all fours. To suck up drink from a stream. To jabber, instead of saying the words. To go snuffling at the earth, and to claw on the bark of trees. To eat flesh, or fish. To make love to more than one, every which way. These are all bad things. These are not the things that men do. But we are men, are we not? We are men because the Father has made us men!

They will only get their news from the approved sources (FauxNews, Rush Blimpo, Breitbart, etc.), and the approved sources will not only not report the lies, they'll actively deny that they ever occurred if someone else brings them up.
