Pigs certainly for most people. They can use tools, have complex social structures with older knowlegeable pigs guiding the group, mediating conflicts and the like. I would not be surprised if they are about as inteligent as dolphins, but unlike dolphins we have no problem at all forcing them into massive stables to eventually eat them.
Would have been my pick too. Pigs are totally awesome animals.
Unfortunately, IF people come in contact with them, normally it's a pig that was totally mentally broken during their caged life. You wouldn't necessarily recognize how amazing and intelligent they can be if you only get to know the abused ones. But nevertheless, they all deserve our love and compassion. ๐
