Yes, you have the right to have sex with animals, assuming you own the animals in question. And yes, since you own yourself and your life, you have every right to end it if you choose. You also have the right to prostitute yourself, to gamble, to marry your cousin (even if they are the same gender), etc.
You have the right to do
ANYTHING you want as long as your actions do not infringe on the person, property, or rights of non-consenting others.
You do not have the right to run a stop sign because you could endanger others, even if you don't see them and believe an intersection is empty.
