"I'm not trying to be an asshole but, what is the difference?"

Intent and execution.

"eating a steak is gaining pleasure from the cow's pain, and death."

And pleasure is, by no means, the only thing gained from eating a steak -- in fact, it isn't even the important thing. Whereas this can't be said for direct animal abuse, where "pleasure" is the whole point.

There are a lot of differences here, now that I think about it.
