Humans are social creatures, and we do not only socialize with each other. We also socialize with other animals, often taking them as pets, at which point they essentially become a part of our family. A faithful dog companion dying can cause as much heartache as a parent or a sibling dying. Slaughtering pets for food is not much better than slaughtering your own family members for food.
I realize, however, that I am picking on the semantics here. I agree with your general point.

Livestock are living assets on a Farm and generally make up a long list of specific species while pets can cross over onto this list but for the most part are separate and therefore different.
Lastly, eating a pet is eating something that has affection value to you personally and typically will result in negative emotions while eating livestock not considered to be a pet will not...that's the difference and the existence of one makes the two different.
