If they requested shipfic about animal cartoon characters, I wouldn't even consider that a DNW that's about human/animal intercourse applies. It's not about "the letter of the law", it's about words meaning things. When two cats fuck in the wild, not a single person thinkings of that as bestiality because bestiality is something else.
