Mr. Pilkington

Mr. Pilkington owns a Farm called Foxwood. He doesn't seem as bad as the other farmers. In the story, it says he is  "an easy-going gentleman farmer who spent most of his time in fishing or hunting according to the season". He is easy-going, until Mr. Fredrick comes along. Both of them cannot agree on anything, even in the defense of their own interests.

Symbolizes Who?
Mr. Pilkington is a symbol for the West (the U.S. and U.K.) and his quarrelsome neighbor is Germany. Both Pilkington and Frederick are worried that revolutionary spirit might spread to their own animals: Pilkington calls it a "terrible wickedness" to keep his animals in place. -Shmoop

Things get Tricky....
Things get very tricky when Napoleon decides to do business work with humans again. He makes deals with Fredrick and Pilkington, but never both at the same time. For a small amount of time, Napoleons and Pilkington are almost friendly. But, when Napoleon sells the lumber to Fredrick, things get really tricky. But, Fredrick cheats Napoleon, and tries to get Pilkington on his side, but does not manage. All Pilkington gives him is a note that says, "Serves you Right."
