i think it is funny in a way because most animal rights philosophies have to do with treating animals with the same type of respect you'd treat a human. The same people usually say that about everything. They seem more Darwinian for whatever reason.
I think it's safe to assume that most animal rights activists support euthanasia as applied to humans too. I don't know where Darwin comes in but it seems to me like the number one historical influence on animal rights philosophies is J.S. Mill and utilitarianism.
