Would you say intelligence is the most important factor when determining whether it is ethical to cause suffering? Is it more ethical to cause suffering to an unintelligent person, like a toddler, than an intelligent one?

I don’t like to cause suffering to anything. I am that weak weirdo that will capture flies and spider with napkins and release them outside.

Weak is not the best word. Soft is probably a better description.
