the way that john stuart mill respond to the complaint that utilitarianism is a doctrine worthy of pigs is: he said that It’s better to have a small amount of higher, human pleasures than a large amount of lower, animal pleasures

According to john stuart mill, Utilitarianism will give higher human pleasures because it aims to do the actions for the BENEFIT of MAJORITY and not only for a certain group of people.
