Accepted Answer

# Brief Explanations:
The detail about the ducks questioning the message and then disappearing could imply that not all animals blindly accept the authority - in this case, the pigs' declarations. This can be seen as a sign of the potential for conflict or a shift in power dynamics as animals start to question the status - quo, suggesting an emerging abuse of power by the pigs.
# Answer:
To suggest a growing abuse of power
