I saw another similar post to this earlier and my first thoughts were:

Similar to the shooting the baby that's immortal when wearing the cross necklace scenario, what the actual fuck is wrong with you for even coming up with these types of scenarios in the first place!
I don't need any God, Goddess, or deity to tell me not to fuck animals, dead or alive, because we as humans kinda collectively decided a very long time ago that it's wrong in so many ways to have sex with anything that isn't human. And that's a worldwide thing that humans decided on, regardless of what religion was practiced.
If you need a God/Goddess/Deity to tell you not to do something the rest of the world has already deemed a heinous crime against nature, you are probably only following that holy instructions out of fear of not reaching whatever your religions heaven equivalent is. And I am a firm believer that if there is a heaven, those who do/don't do things only with the thought of getting into that place in the afterlife certainly ain't getting in, I'd hope. I wouldn't wanna somehow end up in Heaven only to find nobody actually did good for the sake of good and instead selfishly only thought about themselves when doing good deeds.
