There are three types of intelligence. The intelligence of man, the intelligence of animals and the intelligence of the military. In that order. Votes: 3
I think there's a supreme power behind the whole thing, an intelligence. Look at all of the instincts of nature, both animals and plants, the very ingenious ways they survive. If you cut yourself, you don't have to think about it. Votes: 2
When we see animals doing remarkable things, how do we know if we're simply seeing tricks or signs of real intelligence? Are talented animals just obeying commands, or do they have some kind of deeper understanding? One of the biggest challenges for animal researchers is to come up with tests that can distinguish between the two. Votes: 2
From the lowest animals of which we can affirm intelligence up to man this type of intellect is found. Votes: 1

If one of the arguments against eating meat is to do with cruelty and animal intelligence, then lab meat avoids that. There's also the environmental argument for it. Votes: 1
With land-roaming animals, I've just read so much about the sophistication of their emotional lives and their intelligence and the way they process information that betrays a greater intelligence. Votes: 1
The case for exploiting animals for food, clothing and entertainment often relies on our superior intelligence, language and self-awareness: the rights of the superior being trump those of the inferior. Votes: 1
Man is a fire-stealing animal, and we can't help building machines and machine intelligences, even if, from time to time, we use them not only to outsmart ourselves but to bring us right up to the doorstep of Doom. Votes: 1
I do not want to go into its physical reasons: the construction of the human body is different from that of carnivorous animals. But man's intelligence is such that it can be utilised to defend any-thing he does, whether right or wrong. Votes: 1
I think that intelligence is such a narrow branch of the tree of life - this branch of primates we call humans. No other animal, by our definition, can be considered intelligent. So intelligence can't be all that important for survival, because there are so many animals that don't have what we call intelligence, and they're surviving just fine. Votes: 1
There are a lot of obstacles in the way of our understanding animal intelligence - not the least being that we can't even agree whether nonhuman species are conscious. We accept that chimps and dolphins experience awareness; we like to think dogs and cats do. But what about mice and newts? What about a fly? Is anything going on there at all? Votes: 1
Human folk are as a matter of fact eager to find intelligence in animals. Votes: 0
Always remember, animals can intimidate men with their strength but men cannot intimidate animals with their intelligence. Votes: 0
Intelligence is more important than strength, that is why earth is ruled by men and not by animals. Votes: 0
The soul of man is divided into three parts, intelligence, reason, and passion. Intelligence and passion are possessed by other animals, but reason by man alone. Votes: 0
Animals don't have a voice, so I think it is our job to give them one. Votes: 6 Nikki Reed
Intelligence without ambition is a bird without wings. Votes: 6 Salvador Dali
