It's about a morally relevant difference between an animal and a human being, not about what you gain from killing them.
Simply having a nervous system doesn't make humans and animals the same. Similarly, animals and plants are both living beings, but they are not the same. It is the difference in our consciousness that separates animals from plants, and humans from either.
