Determining intelligence in nonhuman animals first of all will help us have a broader, more particular view of them. This will help us know whether we can consume an animal or not, and ..so on

There is no ture telling weather and animal it intelligent or not when your involved with them in everyday life. For example. When you encounter asquirl you dont think it has much intelligent. To determine everyone should just imply every animal has some type of intelligence this is to make people aware

I think that sounds incredible for our enviroment. We need to remember that a lot of animals contribute the nature conservation. For that reason, it could be the principle for the change of way thinking in humans. As a result, we could have more concious citizens in our society.

living things have brains and so if a brain is to make actions, think, and tell people things, then shouldn’t everyone have those actions?
