Halakhah for Sanhedrin 108:16

הנרבע לזכר והנרבע לבהמה אמר רבי אבהו לדברי רבי עקיבא חייב שתים חדא מלא תשכב וחדא מלא תתן שכבתך לדברי רבי ישמעאל אינו חייב אלא אחת אידי ואידי לא יהיה קדש הוא

This being redundant in respectof active bestiality, it must be applied to passive submission, and the DivineLaw thus designated passive submission as an active offence: just as forthe active offence there is punishment and prohibitions so for the passiveoffence too.<span class="x" onmousemove="('comment',' Thus, this applies to passive bestiality, whilst there shall be no sodomite applies to passive pederasty. Hence, there being two separate injunctions for the two offences, a double punishment is incurred. ');"><sup>21</sup></span>

Sefer HaChinukh

To not lay with a beast: To not lay with a beast - whether the man had intercourse with the beast or brought the beast upon himself, it is all included (Sanhedrin 54b); and also included in beast is a [wild] animal - as it is stated (Leviticus 18:23), "And to any beast you shall not give your laying."
