Problem: Many utilitarians argue that the interests of non-human animals ought to 'count' in our moral reasoning. Explain the utilitarian justification for this claim. Does that justification imply that we ought always to treat human beings and non-human animals in the exactly that same way, or could there be situations in which human interests justifiably supersede the interests of non-human animals? What, if anything, could be said in response to utilitarians who argue for the moral significance of non-human animals?
