No, I didnt mean to imply that, not least because we have no good way of measuring intelligence. One reasonable way to get a ballpark is to look at brain fold anatomy - I assume that's what EQ quotient in the OP is roughly equivalent to. Rather than reduce human rights, I'm suggesting we act responsibly to all intelligent species. If a reasonable physical measure of dolphin IQ puts it within an order of magnitude of a humans, we should probably not be killing such a species, for example.
