Moral Progress in Tom Regans Case for Animal Rights Discussion

I’m trying to learn for my Philosophy class and I’m stuck. Can you help?

Consider what it means to make “moral progress” from the standpoint of Regan’s Kantian animal ethics and Singer’s utilitarian animal ethics. Do you agree that this would indeed be moral progress? Why or why not?
