It would be a really nice idea QoL-wise if you could designate items to be urgently hauled by animals only. Want some chunks or drop-pod items on the other side of the map? Why waste a colonist's time retrieving them when an animal could go out there and haul it for you instead?
As it is now, in-game, the only way you can really do this is drag a zone over the items you want hauled, invert the zone, apply it to your colonists, and then order the items to be hauled. Then your animals will go and get them...if there isn't anything that needs hauling closer in the base that is.
