I don’t think that caring about animals translates to caring about human rights. Sentimentality can be very close to cruelty.

Here’s a quote about Hitler from a German children’s magazine published during the Third Reich

“Do you know that your Führer is a vegetarian, and that he does not eat meat because of his general attitude toward life and his love for the world of animals? Do you know that your Führer is an exemplary friend of animals, and even as a chancellor, he is not separated from the animals he has kept for years?...The Führer is an ardent opponent of any torture of animals, in particular vivisection, and has declared to terminate those conditions...thus fulfilling his role as the savior of animals, from continuous and nameless torments and pain”.

— Neugeist/Die Weisse Fahne (contemporaneous pro-Nazi children's magazine)

I’m not suggesting for one second that Aaron Ramsey is similar or equivalent to Adolf Hitler in any way.

However your hope that the human rights record of Saudi will deter Aaron is likely in vain.
