Can you prove that bestiality would not ever cause a disease to be threatening to the human population, or be a threat to anyone?
And my answer would be "No, I can't". But, I also don't see how this is any reason why beastiality should be avoided. In fact, we know that human-human sex certainly does cause disease which is threatening to the human population. AIDS and other STDs. This doesn't seem to make human-human sex immoral in any way.
Human-human sex will have no threat of causing (sexually transmitted) disease if the humans are virgins when they first mate and remain monogamous. But, of course, this also applies to human-nonhuman intercourse.
One argument presented for the 'naturalness' of homosexuality is that it is observed in a great variety of species. Has cross species sexuality ever been observed between two nonhuman species? I'm not suggesting that such an observation, or lack of observation really bears on the morality issue. It just might be an interesting side point.
For those who are concerned by the consent issue, would sex with an anatomically correct inflatable sheep doll address that concern?
