No animal is even close to anything approaching human intelligence. Apes are the most human-like animal we know, but there's no push against keeping them in zoos. They're too ugly, so it wouldn't play well.
Animals have a greatly inhibited sense of consciousness and continuity. They deserve respect as a resource, but they don't deserve "rights" of any kind.
