Firstly bestiality is not necessarily animal abuse. It can be abusive but doesn't have to be. It's also not illegal everywhere so not everyone that does it is a criminal.
Some furries do seriously support bestiality, whether as an aspect of furry or not. I'm not saying they don't get a say in deciding what is furry and what isn't but that if furry is a concept that is to have any meaning it needs to have an accepted and workable definition. Letting people choose for themselves what to include and exclude is not workable and renders the idea of furry immaterial. You aren't being forced into anything either, there is a need to have a proper definition and everyone gets a say in what that is but that doesn't mean it's just anything goes.
"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."
