They can, its dumb. You run through a normal gate into your village and close it, the animal will just run over to the nearest open visitor gate and mosey on in to hit you. I had a villager almost die to this.
As for sandfleas nullifying visitor gates... dont put your outlawed or afk char somewhere that people can walk in and access? Its not that hard, and its the same as last world. You don't leave your outlawed chars out in the open, you don't afk in the open.
Sandfleas are fine as is.
