You heard it here first – garden snails are just as smart as humans

Then i would say you were wrong

human dominion? If animals wanted to cooperate with humans they would have done so long ago. If they wanted to talk to us we would know.

I would say "tl;dr"

The secret -- the biggest secrets that the Grays didn't want to get out, is that animals ARE people. Humans aren't the only people. Many aliens know that animals are in many ways just like people, simply a little less sophisticated (in their current state of evolution, untouched by man, animals would evolve to be just as intelligent if not moreso.) Seeing the way that humans treat animals makes most aliens avoid the human race simply for that reason alone. Grays have a need to control, to harm, to torture. The way they feed is by torturing the innocent. Have you ever wondered why both the Bible's god and the devil demand animal sacrifices? They need them to feed on. They feed on their souls, as well as human souls. The Grays will only be satisfied when all innocence is destroyed and everyone is an obedient robot. They want to stamp out nature, so they force our institutions of learning to preach that animals are inferior. They are people.
