it’s how he treats his inferiors

As I was driving to work this afternoon I passed a semi full of pigs. This semi was shoved full, to the point that you could see that the pigs had to stand on each other. I find this more than disturbing.

I can not help but find it amusing that most humans (in my experience) seem to feel that they are superior to ever other living thing on Earth; yet we treat these living creatures as if they don't matter. It makes me wonder how we must look to any alien species out there.

“You can’t get the gauge of a man by how he treats his peers, it’s how he treats his inferiors that shows his true character." -Dumbledore

Yes, the quote is from Harry Potter, but I think it is very true.
