Answer:
The animals are at the mercy of MEN.
Explanation:
Before the rebellion, the animals were being controlled by Mr. Jones, their farmer. However, now that the pigs have taken leadership, they are now being controlled by the pigs. The animals do not have any say in the pigs' commands since otherwise they would get punished, so they have no choice but to follow them.
The animals are a symbol of "at the mercy of the wind" because the leader pig also exploits the animals as the human was doing before.
Animal farm is a novel written by George Orwell, published in August 1945.
This story is about some animals who fought with humans for their equality and freedom.
The animals were before exploited by humans, and they fought against humans, whose leader was pig.
But, in the end, the pig also started exploiting animals like the humans and also dressed like humans.
Thus, they were at the mercy of the wind, because they were fighting for their rights, but end up being exploited again
