Can the animal trigger be disabled? Because the animal is not harmed.

Honestly, I'm not sure why this happens. Seems when turrets are parented, they target animals. Unparented turrets don't. It was just an unintended side effect. I can look more into why it happens. Worst case, I can use the OnTurretTarget hook to just ignore animals for these turrets, and add that as a config option.

Also, these turrets do harm animals, so you must have a mod blocking that.
