I don't doubt there are some people against those ideas (though PETA is the only one I can think of and they aren't exactly a good example of anything) but if they are wrong for the same reason that bestiality is wrong why are the objections so much less visible when the problem is so much bigger? I've seen furs argue against bestiality (though mostly just saying it's bad rather than arguing anything) and there are at least two anti-bestiality groups on FA but I've never seen an anti-animal-ownership or anti-sterilisation group.

You're going to have to do a lot more to support why sexual acts should be given special significance. I'm not denying there are possible negative consequences but there is very little evidence for them. Things can go wrong and when that happens we can observe that and if the risk of harm from bestiality is unacceptably high then it would be right to make it illegal. There is no research showing that harm and there are good reasons to doubt it will ever come.

"If all mankind minus one, were of one opinion, and only one person were of the contrary opinion, mankind would be no more justified in silencing that one person, than he, if he had the power, would be justified in silencing mankind."
