This quote is from a BBC article a couple of years ago but I couldn't find a thread on it.
Referring to George Dvorsky of the Institute for Ethics and Emerging Technologies:
He believes in an “ethical imperative to uplift”, arguing that if the technology is developed it should be shared with animals in order to free them from the anguish of 'survival of the fittest'

No doubt there are many downsides and negative repercussions but maybe he's right, it's our moral duty to give them (through genetic manipulation) something akin to the intelligence we luckily evolved.
