It's still a relevant argument with regard to the legal status of bestiality because it's an incongruence.
The problem is the ones that object to most of those are generally not the best examples of reasoning at all. (ie PETA) The average furry, as far as I can tell, has no problem with the idea of owning and selling animals (an issue of consent) and are often in favour of forced sterilisation (another issue of consent). There may be some that indeed carry the idea of animal consent all the way (and well done to them for maintaining a consistent view) but I think you'll find most take a view that favours the animal's welfare except in a situation like bestiality.
"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."
