Targeted animals? (5)

I believe the answer is:

bulls

I'm a little stuck... Click here to teach me more about this clue!

'animals?' is the definition.
(bull is a kind of animal)

I can't explain the remainder of the clue.

(Other definitions for bulls that I've seen before include "Male animals" , "Male cattle" , "Adult males of domestic cattle" , "Male whales" .)

I've seen this clue in the Evening Standard.
