What is the best approach you would take as an active listener? Ignore the person speaking. Raise my hand to show I’m ready, then start talking. Write down my idea, raise my hand, and wait for the moderator to call on me. Speak up to tell the person that he has to stop talking, and ask who else agrees.

normally working animals are domesticated and ruled by a master, a domesticator (tamer), to perform basic and important functions on a farm, for example. the value used in this context is animal labor in exchange for food. it is not so much a contrast to the story told by napoleon and the pigs, since the animals of that particular farm also performed functions on the farm through domestication. the only thing is that in this case, who rules them is a pig, also an animal, but very respected, to whom the other animals lent him submission. that's about a strong relationship of dependency between animal and owner.
