It makes sense to me in the sense that the person is going to die no matter but the animal isn't going to be fucked no matter what. In the case of the person, the action you're taking is deciding whether to let that person persist in a prolonged period of suffering before dying or whether to end that suffering by ending the life, whereas with the animal you are actively taking action that very well might be harming the animal. You're attempting to alleviate known suffering in the one case, and potentially causing suffering in the other.
What about for killing an animal to eat them without their consent though?
"Of course, everyone will claim they respect someone who tries to speak the truth, but in reality, this is a rare quality. Most respect those who speak truths they agree with, and their respect for the speaking only extends as far as their realm of personal agreement. It is less common, almost to the point of becoming a saintly virtue, that someone truly respects and loves the truth seeker, even when their conclusions differ wildly."
