Sorry Mate but Mr. Ed here to tell you Animal Farm was the inspiration for that theme of the album. 100% accurate, it's in the Book "Inside Out" written by Nick Mason.

Roger Waters wrote most of the album, not Nick Mason.

So he just made that up for ****s and Giggles then?

C'mon mate, when you're wrong just admit it and chalk it up to experience, you're starting to look foolishly stubborn.

I don't believe everything i read on the net, but this is from fans:

Pigs (3 Different Ones) by Pink Floyd Songfacts

It may have been partly inspired, but it is not purely based on. i found this link AFTER I posted my personal views.

Nick Mason may well have said that Waters based it on Animal farm, but I have never heard of ANIMALS being based upon Animal Farm by any other fans. There are similarities of course, and influence, but if you read the lyrics they are about the class system; this can then be linked (even classed as a rip off structually) to Animal Farm as can THE WIZARD OF OZ to DSOTM, but it's not based on that either.

I think its safe to say Animal Farms was an influence if they're talking about the same subject with the same imagery, which is something you completely skipped over and I can find several instances of fans saying that, shit there was several instances in the google link that you dismissed off as 'hearsay' (the links included rockhall, wikipedia, amazon, etc).

Aside from that how you can go and dismiss something like what I posted as hearsay then cite the fans as a reason it wasn't based off Animal Farm I don't understand.
