How do you make animals attack raiders?

I've never really gotten a lot of animals trained before, but now I have a few elephants,snakes, and deadliest of all, tortoises. They're all trained in release, but when I press the release animals button on their master, they don't do anything. I've checked and seen that they aren't restricted by any zones, so I don't understand why they wont do anything. I really need help figuring this out please.

okay first of all animals tab there should be colums in those colums are follow master when drafted and follow master during feild work(like hunting)

You may want to check follow drafted master cause release animals will only attack things in los i believe and i think they can't see far so its less of a load on the pc

I read that you also have to wait until one of the animals is attacked, as the AI does not currently work properly. After that all your "released" animals will basically turn into a manhunter pack that attacks your enemies. You could try grabbing one of those Animal Pulsers from Exotic Traders and using them to make everything go beserk. If they actually work, they are probably far more effective.
