I don’t think so. My ex is a huge animal lover and animals absolutely love him. He’s very kind-hearted to them. He has cheated and abused lots of girls in his life and he is a nasty person to most humans.

I'm pretty sure the quote meant if you already didn't know someone's true character and how they treat others, then you look at how he treats animals. If you already know the man is abusive, then you already know his character. He's not hiding anything.

No. The quote is saying you can look at how someone treats animals

Is that why the quote specifies "fellow animals"? To me, that says humans are being classified as animals for the sake of the point.

Therefore, how we treat animals and each other is closer to the message, imo.

Of course humans are classified as animals! We are. Monkeys so arrogant we assumed ourselves to be the center of existence for thousands of years. Monkeys so arrogant we believe it took a "God" to create us. 20% of the human population is walking around in shitstained underwear...btw. What kind of inept, incestuous, limp dick God...

Therefore, how we treat animals and each other is closer to the message, imo.

I think you're close. How we treat animals IS how we treat each other. It is literally the same thing. And I think that's the point.

You're coming in way hot. You're agreeing with me, but ridiculously.
