You're asking why people don't treat different things as if they were the same. My response is that it's because they're different things. Why is that difficult to understand?
No. That is not what I mean to ask. Maybe the question is poorly worded. A shorter version is, What is the reason to oppose animal torture? (I ask only those who consider it okay to exploit and/or kill animals because theirs are the only views that interest me.)
