Why does Antony use the phrase brutish beasts in line 32?

I believe that the work is Marc Anthony's Speech from Shakespeare's Julius Caesar ,and the full line is:
O judgment! thou art fled to brutish beasts,

and his purpose is to say that the judgement is not following the reason, but instead that people follow the wrong people in their judgement (those people is what he means by "brutish beasts")

Answer:

He uses the words "brute beasts" to refer to irrational judgments.

Step-by-step explanation:

You must be referring to the speech of Mark Antony in Julius Caesar of Shakespeare.

In his speech, Marco Antonio uses the phrase "The judgment! Thou art fled to brutish beasts". In this sentence he is referring to the judgment of people based on irrationality because men have lost their reason in their judgments.
