They can kill an animal (including a mammal) if they become entangled and give up out of suffering, though.

This is pretty rare, but can happen.

It's virtually zero risk to a human, though, who can cognize things like getting their hand disentangled from a string (even in a panic situation), or to most mammals, which tend to jerk backwards on contact.
