# Immanuel Kant quote

(Asked by: username_0 on 2021-05-09)

Immanuel Kant once said something along the lines of ''You can judge a man's character by the way he treats animals''.

I can find many different versions/paraphrases of this quote in English online but I can't find it in Chinese.

Can anyone find it ?

An accurate translation would be a good start but ideally I'd like to find some source.
