The sending of Boxer to the Knacker is a symbol of loyal workers mistreated by government.
When his horse got too old to pull the cart he was going to fetch the knacker for it but I offered him a fair price and put old Boxer out to grass and a well earned retirement.
Napoleon sends Boxer to the slaughter house instead of the hospital because he doesn't want to spend money on something he doesn't think is needed, like treating Boxer. He figures that Boxer will never fully recover so he is useless to the farm, so he sends him away to the slaughter house to be killed. Hope this helped :)
Knacker - band - was created in 1998.
Knacker - band - ended in 2005.
boxer was their motivation for work and he kept all their spirits up while working with his quote ' i will work harder'. and he reassured the animals that 'napoleon was always right' I'm so cool. and Winchester is the best ^^lolol, course you are and course it is.:LL
had actually jumped to the conclusion that Boxer was being sent to the knacker's. It was almost unbelievable, said Squealer, that any animal could be so stupid. Surely, he cried indignantly, whisking his tail and skipping from side to side, surely they knew their beloved Leader, Comrade Napoleon, better than that? But the explanation was really very simple. The van had previously been the property of the knacker, and had been bought by the veterinary surgeon, who had not yet painted the old name out. That was how the mistake had arisen.
Chapter 9 of "Animal Farm" by George Orwell contains various literary devices, including allegory, symbolism, and irony. The animals' struggle for power mirrors historical events, such as the Russian Revolution. The use of the pigs as symbols of corruption and manipulation highlights themes of totalitarianism and the corrupting nature of power. Irony is present in the animals' realization that they have become like their former human oppressors.

They're sending a boxer (bantamweight Emilian Polino) as their only competitor.
A "knacker".
Boxer, the horse, was wounded. He worked himself so hard that he injured his lungs. He also hurt one of his hoofs. Clover fixed his hoof but Napoleon sold Boxer to the knacker after he injured his lungs. There were several animals that were killed. Snowball was injured in the Battle of the Cowshed.
