at this link, Buddha mentioned animals can realise the four noble truths

Well any animal with sufficient enough intelligence can understand that being hit is suffering, the cause of that suffering is growling at a child, and the cessation of that suffering would be possible, the possibility being not growling at the child anymore.

But to say that the precepts are for animals would be the kind of mythological nonsense that should be discarded or tucked deep away in the history of Buddhism.
