So it's intelligence that decides whether or not something can be eaten? Can we eat the retarded? What about the catatonic? What about babies? What about people in a vegetative state? None of them are really on the same intellectual level as a "normal" human.
I must ask you to define what exactly it is about human "sapiency" that makes them exempt from the same lack of consideration that we give animals. At this point I'm sort of guessing what your standards are. I'm coming to the conclusion that you don't really have a clear, definite idea yourself.
