Camel immediately gets up and cannot sit down when noticing the player (especially with Cactus)

Summary:
When a sitting Camel notices a player (looks at them or turns towards them), it immediately stands up. In Java Edition, Camels do not react this way; they can comfortably look at the player while remaining seated. This issue is most visible and easily reproduced when the player is holding a Cactus, which completely locks the Camel out of its sitting state on Bedrock Edition, whereas Java Camels can stay seated while attracted to food.

Steps to reproduce:

  1. Find or summon a Camel and wait for it to sit down.

  2. Approach the Camel so it turns its head to notice you (to speed this up, hold a Cactus).

  3. Observe the Camel's behavior.

  4. Keep holding the Cactus near a standing Camel and wait to see if it ever sits down.

Observed results:
The Camel immediately stands up as soon as it notices the player/Cactus. It will never sit down or stay seated as long as it is tracking the player.

Expected results:
The Camel should be able to notice and look at the player (or be attracted to the Cactus) while remaining seated. The tracking behavior should not force the Camel to stand up or prevent it from sitting down, matching Java Edition behavior.
