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?
On that point:
