It says on there the following: “Speciesist: (intelligence is special, so humans are more important than animals)”

I would like to know why you think intelligence is “special” and also what you mean by that. And if, as you say, the fact that humans are more intelligent than other animals means that we are therefore more important, then surely it follows that humans who are more intelligent than other humans are more important than their less intelligent brethren?

If not, why not?

And, what exactly does my supposed superiority over my dog allow me to do to that dog, and what does a very intelligent person’s superiority allow them to do to a stupid person? Ie, what is the nature of the relationship?
