You have, of course, confused science with Ethics & Law. Scientifically human-beings are animals, specifically we are Homo Sapiens sapiens, ie an upright-standing, bipedal primate of the family Hominidae.Biologically speaking, Beastiality is a nothing because it perpetuates neither species. Ethically & legally, however, we recognise that sex can take place in a number of contexts but for this discussion we can see two.

[1]: An act, which of their own free-will and permission, takes place between two adult persons of undiminished mental capacity. This is an act which is legal.

[2]:Sexual acts which because of a difference in age, mental capacity or species can not be considered to have been consented to. When this is done to another human-being it is called rape, with an animal (which CANNOT, by definition, consent to the act) it is called Beastiality.

As you are a person who claims to have a scientific education I am surprised you have made this elementary mistake.
