The song, "Beasts of England" is all about being free and having freedom. This song was sung to encourage the animals when they rebelled against Mr Jones, in hope of more freedom and being better treated. Apparently, they were not treated better after the rebellion. Even the milk and apples were not given to them while during Mr Jones time, it was mixed in their mesh. So, after the rebellion, under Napoleon rule, the animals did not fare better but worse. Hence, Napoleon was afraid that while the animals were singing Beasts of England, they might rebell as they feel that they are not getting what they thought they would when they rebelled against Mr Jones. Napoleon wanted to hold onto his leasdership position and hence abolished the song "Beasts of England" so that the animals now slowly forget the promises they were promised when they rebelled against Mr Jones.
