I doubt that cows are as smart as octopi, at least on the axis that we humans typically measure intelligence. I know that there is a correlation between brain-to-body mass, but I wouldn't rely on it, especially considering that there are different measures of intelligence. My personal moral compass regarding intelligence is primarily based around tool use, manipulation of the environment, problem solving, and symbolism.
