Reasonable, but while the issue of whether or not sex with an animal is actually cruel may not be relevant to your question, in the world of "real life" morality, where it's okay to eat an animal but not to hit one, it still matters.

But yeah, logically, if it's okay to eat an animal, it's irrational to then say you can't **** one, and I don't see much of an argument to say otherwise.
