As you can see I am not getting correct result. What have I messed up? I want to learn it.

Here is full slide in case anyone wants to refer to it.

The slides use the convention that the scope of a quantifier is maximal, i.e., it extends as far to the right as possible. In particular, $\forall y\,\text{Animal}(y)\Rightarrow \text{Loves}(x, y)$ means $\forall y\,(\text{Animal}(y)\Rightarrow \text{Loves}(x, y))$ and not $(\forall y\,\text{Animal}(y))\Rightarrow \text{Loves}(x, y)$, as you wrote in the first photo. This convention is not universal, however. Quite a few textbooks view the scope of a quantifier as being as small as possible.
