As it's already been mentioned in this thread, the issue is not normal players nor the animals. It's the people who FailRP. Staff is not able to monitor what animals & players are doing at every moment, though we try our best especially now with the increase of bear related issues. The issue comes down simply to people who don't listen. Completely removing the whitelist because select people don't know how to roleplay properly is not the solution.
Another thing that's been mentioned, if you see animals or anyone in general FailRPing open a ticket, send it in a #help channel, or DM a staff member. Complaining about it instead of reporting it won't solve the issue, I don't mean to sound harsh but I often see players who complain in OOC instead of taking the time to point it out to staff. We're more than willing to tell a bird, bear, or whatever that what they're doing is not realistic for an animal to do.
Last thing in total I'd like to mention is this: Specifically regarding BEARS, a large portion of them aren't even the issue. Players will quite literally try to hunt and provoke bears for no reason, and I think that's obviously something that's not realistic in any shape or form, try to remember sometimes that the wild animals aren't always the ones starting issues.
