Intelligence, in the sense that we normally use it, involves self-awareness, complex communication, and problem-solving ability.
Self-awareness is understanding that one is an entity physically separate from others: we look in a mirror and realize, "that's me in there." Communication is the ability to pass complex ideas -- ideas that cannot be indicated by simple gestures -- on to others, and includes the ability to learn from ideas as opposed to demonstration. Problem-solving refers to the ability to work one's way through puzzles one has never encountered before, and also includes the use of tools.
By those criteria, sheep fail to hit the mark by a considerable margin.

Why is it okay to eat sheep but not whales?
Some vegetarians would argue that it isn't OK to eat sheep! However, the main difference is that sheep production is managed - sheep are domesticated and farmers breed them and run the sheeps' lives to be eaten. Whales are wild animals, their lives aren't managed - no-one knows how many whales exist in the wild and much of their lives are mysteries - although they are known to be very intelligent; killing them for food is irresponsible with so little knowledge.
