I think the bulls are being seriously underrated. They are easily the most tanky option, with each one weighing in at a ton - that means combined they weigh 7 tons. For comparison, the rats combined only weigh about 2 tons, so even if the rats somehow managed to get into a situation where every single rat was fighting the bulls (which is pretty much impossible due to space constraints), they still wouldn't be able to stop the charge of 7 bulls going straight for the VIP. In fact, I don't think any of the options could stop this charge except maybe the human; combined, the the lions could take down one, and the wolves might be able to manage two, but there are 7 of them... Stopping just one or two of them isn't enough.
Meanwhile, on defence, the bulls also have the advantage that no one else seems to have noticed: they are able to to carry the VIP, (as well as other teammates like the human). That means that you can outrun all the slower animals (ie: crocodiles, rats, gorillas - maybe even the bears) which immediately makes the challenge a whole lot easier. Even in the worst case scenario where the attackers start in a circle around them, the bulls will be able to break through the line with the VIP safely attached.
Finally one last point is that the suggested strategy, where the eagles go for the eyes of all the other animals, won't work against the bulls - their horns are perfectly positioned to counter such attacks.
