The additional two words added to the Sixth Commandment justify Napoleon's actions. There are the seven commandments: Whatever goes upon two legs is an enemy. Whatever goes upon four legs, or has wings, is a friend. No animal shall wear clothes.

Explanation:

The sixth commandment was the first to be amended to “No animal shall kill any other animal without cause”. Although not part of the seven commandments, Old Major's edict that all animals should not engage in commerce is also broken by Napoleon.
