  18.  
  19.    Certain categories of human beings, such as infants and mentally retarded
  20.    people, routinely fall below apes and whales in levels of intelligence, self-
  21.    awareness, language-ability, use of ideas, etc.  
  22.  
  23. Right, so perceived or hypothetical intelligence is probably not a
  24. good argument for not hunting apes and whales.
