I cringed at the 'fit for animals' phrase too. Imagine if the author had used it regarding, say, some other group.
That said, it's certainly possible to live in a simple, low-resource way without being disorderly and unclean. I think along the lines of those rural places with a whole bunch of shit strewn about the yard when I think of 'living like animals', as opposed to a small, simple cabin in the woods.

It's not hard to end up with a different baseline, just look at how many elderly people become hoarders. Unfortunately, humans are adept at adapting, even when we are adapting to worse conditions.
