When you casually call a type of animal stupid it is just a promise of violent against that animal at a later date, I don’t mean this as an attack or a gotcha, it is just unfortunately how humans work.

I didn’t call them stupid. All I meant is that they are not what we consider in mainstream conversation the “smart animals” to illustrate a point. And I very much agree with you, I’m actually writing a piece making the argument that humans are not in fact, conclusively smarter than animals. We seem to be smarter due to our biases and because we have the ability to transfer knowledge more efficiently than other species. But it is not clear to me that a human, tabula rasa, absent socialization and knowledge transfer would be much smarter than the average animal of any species.

Then forget this framing ever existed or it will irrevocably hamper your insight on this topic.
Referencing things like this “to make a point” still has consequences the same as talking about anything else does.
