Do Humans become Animals themselves after contact with Mutagen and Animals?

In another thread on this forum (Bebop and Rocksteady Pre-mutation) got me thinking after IndigoEarth mentioned something about those two being Mutated Animals. I'm wondering what this would ultimately mean for any human that has this happen to them. It is one thing to lightly brush over the idea in thought but another once you really think about it.

Here is some of the questions that it raises...

Since relationships are often portrayed in TMNT, does this mean that any relationship between Human and Human-origin Mutant (say Nick's and OT's Splinter) would constitute bestiality?

Human prejudices not-withstanding, would this man that legally that Human-Origin Mutants would now be classified with animals and livestock, like it would be legal for instance to kill Bebop and turn him into porkchops and bacon, since he's not human anymore?

Or are they not 'true' animals, but mainly it being an idea, and still would constitute all of their human rights (human prejudice not-withstanding?)

The reason I ask this is because I have yet to see it explored aside from the Human-Origin side, at least not this deeply. These are two of the major questions I could come up with that oft pertained with humanity and animals mixed in, so I hope they aren't too weird.
