If non-human animals cannot consent, isn't all sex between any two non-human animals rape?

If that's the case, isn't this preferable to just letting the animals just rape each other indiscriminately?

    Non-human animals aren't moral agents and can't be subjected to the same moral outcomes that humans have. The same way we can't say a hurricane has done something immoral.

    Non-human animals are moral patients. When moral agents act immorally upon moral patients, the agents are responsible.
