while beastiality isn't socially acceptable, it's hard to find a really good convincing argument on why it's wrong.
I just took a class on social psych and this issue came up, the professor's argument was that a lot of things that we find morally unacceptable rarely have good logical reasons as to why they're unnacceptable.
You could argue that having sex with an animal is wrong because there's no consent, however, we don't give consent when we kill animals for food and I'm sure an animal would rather have sex than die.
If you say that we kill because we need to eat, that's not true because there are numerous vegitarians out there that don't eat meat to survive and therefore, killing animals is no longer a basic need.
It has also been shown that some animals seem to enjoy having sex with humans, or at least they don't seem to mind, therefore is it really wrong?
There's no good logical foundation on why it's wrong...the same could be said about incest, sure, it may produce bad offspring, but what if both partners had their tubes tied? and pregancy had 0% chance of occuring? Well, that's another topic I won't get into here, but it does make you think.
I'm just playing devils advocate here for the sake of discussion, i personally would never have sex with an animal, i just think it's gross.
