This isn't really a surprise. DNA-based evidence collection is the modern gold standard in forensics, and vets are already (sadly) taught how to use "rape kits for animals" now due to many cases of genuine cruelty they've had to deal with.
For US folks, just don't give any judge probable cause to issue a search warrant. That involves denying anyone other than you or your nonhuman partner reasonable or circumstantial proof that a crime has been committed. Obscurity is security. Obviously, if you fencehop, you are asking for trouble, because you have already committed a crime merely by being on property, and the people whose property is to be searched will be more than happy to comply with authorities even without a judge's go-ahead.

This, plus not being accountable to anyone as to why you are alone with animals in a locked building with the blinds closed, plus not video taping yourself, is sufficient protection in meatspace. That and wearing a condom. It's really no more protections than you should take with a human partner.
And again, PACT only applies to interstate crime. Which is to say, you've gotten caught boinking nonhumans across state lines, ergo, the Feds are now involved. It will not affect you unless you plan to travel to boink someone else's partner (which, IMO, you shouldn't do).
