Sex

Why is bestiality such a horrendous crime in most (perhaps all) countries in the world, whereas the killing of animals for consumption, and in some cases, even as a sport (deer, pigs, sheep, cattle, etc.) is not a crime? Isn't it more cruel to animals to kill them, than to rape (if that is the right word to use here) them?
