is this..is this bestiality?

they fluently speak the language the protagonist does, hold conversations, have jobs, walk on two legs, wear clothes..........

and are half beasts.... so.....

half beast is a stretch, all they do is produce food that people eat and have tails, that's like me saying fucking a regular guy with cat ears is bestiality bc i could technically cover his thigh in sesame oil and eat it

also don't let this be the hill you're dying on, reading this isn't the start of a pipeline that ends with you wanting to fuck a dog
