If a man has sexual relations with an animal, he is to be put to death, and you must kill the animal. The death penalty for bestiality (Leviticus 18:23) applies to both the man and the animal. The killing of the animal communicates the animal's involvement in the violation even without moral responsibility: the animal that was used as the instrument of the perversion cannot remain in the community.
