I think we discussed this very sentence sometime in the past,
but I don't remember when or where exactly.

I'd translate the first part as {lo ro danlu cu dunsi'u}, i.e.
"all animals are equal among themselves". {ro danlu cu dunli}
seems too vague to me, I want to ask {dunli ma}, equal to
what? Perhaps each is equal to its parent, for example?

The second part perhaps {i ku'i su'o danlu cu zmadu
su'o drata lo ka dunzma}.  {su'o} seems necessary there.
Of course this second part is a bit nonsensical, but that's in
keeping with the original.
