Explanation:

When Old Major gave his speech in the book, 'Animal Farm', he basically incited hatred against man amongst the animals. He did not like the fact that Man did not produce anything but was always consuming and using the animals for his own selfish purpose. He wanted the animals to revolt against Man but in doing this, he did not want them to become like Man. Thus, he listed several vices of man that he hoped the animals will never adopt.

For him, anything that walked on two legs was to be hated while anything that walked on four legs or flew was to be loved.
