Should Predators Ignore Gunshots

It would be a pretty good mod for a player who prefers to get their rimworld challenge from other mods. Generally speaking, most animals should run the moment shots are even fired. A few might respond with aggression instead if shots are fired, and even attack if shot. A buddy of mine shot a wild boar with a .308 once, and in response it straight charged him. Most terrifying moment of his life, that.

Anyway it were done properly, there would be an attribute on the animal called "aggressivenessFactor," and that would decide. Without that, it could be modeled by calculating a hybrid of body weight to food preference. Herbivore, omnivore, carnivore would individually require less total body weight for aggression factor, but all diet types with sufficient body weight might become aggressive. If the AnimalsLogic guy is still modding, he'd be the right guy to implement this, I'd say.
