Intelligence is based on learning, creating and solving. Some animals can learn other can learn and create (paintings if taught) but there is no animal (that I know of) that creates things on their own. Sure they can use tools like a stick or a rock to crack open an egg, dig up worms and that is intelligence.
We humans are more intelligent as we can learn so much or ells we would not be on the internet and writing and whatever.
Everything living has a soul (that’s what makes the body “live”) and for me the bigger the animal is the harder it is for me to kill it. I mean compare a mosquito too a cat for example. Of course I would kill the cat and leave the poor mosquito alone! 
As for humans hmm if you would ask me to kill a killer or a normal nice human I would kill the killer as that = less humans dead. But if you’re talking about intelligence then I can’t answer that. I would prefer not too choose who dies unless it’s about a killer…

You clearly don't get what I was saying. We have defined intelligence as that, yes. And in that case, according to our own input, yes, we are the most intelligent animals on the planet. But this so called intelligence you speak of has made humans into the most destructive (and what I often think of as stupid) animals on the whole planet.
Why should "intelligence" alone determine whether we are worth more or less than animals...because I personally feel what our "intelligence" has turned us into has made us worth far less than animals.

I agree just because we are more intelligent does not mean we get to kill other living things as they deserve to live as much as we do.
Except for chickens as they are tasty and so is lamb and fish, drools. I’m kind of hungry now
