The passage best supports the prediction that "The animals on the farm will die as a result of human actions." Major's speech emphasizes the message that humans (man) are enemies to the animals and that all animals must unite against them. This suggests an impending conflict between the animals and humans, which implies that the struggle could lead to dire consequences for the animals.
Read the excerpt from Major's speech in chapter 1 of Animal Farm.
"Fix your eyes on that, comrades, throughout the short remainder of your lives! And above all, pass on this message of mine to those who come after you, so that future generations shall carry on the struggle until it is victorious.
"And remember, comrades, your resolution must never falter. No argument must lead you astray. Never listen when they tell you that Man and the animals have a common interest, that the prosperity of the one is the prosperity of the others. It is all lies. Man serves the interests of no creature except himself. And among us animals let there be perfect unity, perfect comradeship in the struggle. All men are enemies. All animals are comrades."
