Why was Mr Jones drunk on the day of the animals' rebellion, and why didn't he care about the animals in Animal Farm?

In
,writes that Mr. Jones had recently fallen on hard times and began to drink steadily throughout
the day. Mr. Jones had recently lost a lawsuit, which made him depressed enough to sit on his
Windsor chair all day and drink alcohol. In addition to Mr. Jones's alcoholism, his men were
idle, and they neglected to take care of the farm and adequately feed the animals. On Manor
Farm, the fields were full of weeds, the buildings were dilapidated, and the animals were
dramatically unfed. On Midsummer's Eve, Mr. Jones got so drunk at the Red Lion that he did not
come back to the farm until the following day and immediately went to bed when he returned home.
Mr. Jones was so depressed about his lawsuit and consumed in his alcohol that he completely
forgot to take care of the animals. The animals had gone unfed for two consecutive days and had
finally had enough of being neglected by their human master. The animals then rebelled and
successfully expelled Mr. Jones and his men from Manor Farm.
