Quote by William Ralph Inge
We have enslaved the rest of the animal creation, and have treated our distant cousins in fur and feathers so badly that beyond doubt, if they were able to formulate a religion, they would depict the Devil in human form.
Summary
This quote suggests that humans have exerted dominance over animals and mistreated them to such an extent that they would associate humans with the embodiment of evil if they had the ability to create a religion. It highlights the cruel treatment and exploitation of animals by humans, emphasizing the negative impact of this behavior on our relationship with the rest of the animal kingdom.
