+## Utilitarianism
+
+- Perks
+	- Based on communal interests
+	- Focused on outcomes and consequences
+
+- Problems
+	- Who defines well-being?
+	- Requires a ton of data
+	- Requires a lot of thinking
+	- Lack of absolutes (this could be a perk depending on your POV?)
+
+- Noteworthy for including animals in its philosophy
+	- Animals are included because they can suffer
+	- Animals are not moral agents
+
+## Animal Rights
+
+- Why do we eat animals?
+	- They are part of the food chain (this would be a scientific response)
+		- You could also argue, however, that humans are outside of the food chain
+	- God says humans have dominion over animals (this would be a religious response)
+	- It is not necessary anymore with the rise of agriculture
+
+- Arguments for human exceptionalism rely on the fact that humans are moral agents
