Rex's endorsement of Babe, as exemplified in his behavior when Babe attends the sheepdog trials, cements the triumph of natural law, to which Babe adheres, over the express rule of law set forth by Rex. Babe, Ferdinand is a deviant on Hoggett farm, but unlike Babe, Ferdinand is shunned from society and never finds his rightful place. To avoid becoming dinner, Ferdinand has tried everything from anorexia to an unsuccessful attempt at mating with the hens. Yet however hard he may try, Ferdinand cannot escape his fate, and he is in turn terrified by it. Ferdinand's fearful realization of his destiny is exemplified in his Christmas dinner syllogism.
Dinner means death.
Death means carnage. Christmas means carnage. Ferdinand is unhappy with his life, but the other animals on the farm have no sympathy for him as they do for Babe. They see Ferdinand's unrest as a result of his refusal to accept his destiny. I'm not gonna be a goner.
