Terrible Tragedy

The most disturbing part of Animal Farm for me is when Napoleon says he is sending Boxer to an animal hospital but he is actually going to kill him. After Boxer splits his hoof he never seems to be himself again. He can not work as hard ,although he trys, and he is getting to the age where he should no longer be working. On one occasion Boxer is working by himself and he falls. When the animals realize the tragedy it is to late. Boxer is hurt to bad to work any longer. Clover nurses him for a few weeks but he can no longer do anymore work. Napoleon tells everyone not to worry, and that Boxer will get the best care he could get from the hospital he is going to. It turns out Boxer is not going to the hospital he is going to a slaughter house. This was defiantly the most depressing thing for me in this book because throughout the whole book Boxer worked so hard, and then the second he gets hurt and can not work anymore Napoleon ships him off to be killed. Overall this was defiantly the saddest part in the book for me and i hope the animals come to realize how truly terrible Napoleon really is.
