He says it is horrible. The animals labor tirelessly for the humans in exchange for a meager amount of food.

With the exception of Old Major, the animals have lived miserable lives under the dictatorship of the farmer, Mr. Jones. Old Major calls upon the animals, telling them that a revolution will happen soon and change the horrible state they live in.

Old Major's speech was saying that Humans were treating all the animals poorly and that animals needed to retaliate.
