While reading Garrad's chapter on animals, I happened to stumble upon the term “Utilitarian”. Utilitarianism is, in short, an ethical assessment of any action with regard to its usefulness to the entirety of sentient beings or, in other words, one could describe it as the pursuit of maximum global happiness, which makes it part of hedonist or eudaimonist ethics.
