Humans are special in more than one characteristic. One of them is that humans have consensual intercourse and have a word for and laws against intercouse that isn't.
Cows don't have that. Animals in general don't have that. You wouldn't say one shark is raping another. Or lions are raping each other. Unless you are really missing the point at least
Bestiality is another term you don't seem to understand. Artifical insemination does not involve the performance of sexual acts from the human's point of view.
It's a human term from a human's perspective.
You wouldn't call it Bestiality when a dog humps your leg. the animal's perspective does not matter here. It should be that way because animals cannot in a meaningful way consent.
I don't agree with the term sexual violation.
In a perfect way no animal would ever die, but nature is eat or be eaten most of the time. Cows usually are the ones that will be eaten.
