My point is brightness or intelligence shouldn’t be the measuring stick for compassion for living things.

  Right. But that goes for everything? When are we required to get concerned? Just mammals? All the way to bugs?

    There's lots of grey area, and it all ends up being personal preference, but I think if one makes it a goal to always empathize it's a great starting point.

      Oh yes, the slaughter of dolphins is tragic and wrong. Not because they are our 'brothers', but because they have value as part of the whole ecosystem.
