Does seem to be working now, although it's an annoying quest! The keys you need are either dropped by the Gnolls or can be found hanging on hooks in and around the tree roots.
I didn't really see the point of the Gnoll Disguise that appears on your Extra Action button. As soon as you click to start freeing the abused animal the disguise drops off and all the surrounding Gnolls pile on anyway. So, it's actually simpler to kill the Gnolls first and then rescue the animal after they're dead.
For whatever reason having artisan quests seems to bug out some interactions like this one with the keys and you get some missing reagent error. Dropped/completed those artisan quests and was able to complete the quest.

Description
Those fiends! Pillaging and murder are one thing, but animal abuse? I'll not stand for it. The gnolls have set out traps for animals to catch and feed to their slavering hyena mutts. Find a way to free their fluffy captives and show the ruffians how a mage ethically treats animals! Of course this makes ethical sense in light of my recent actions. What exactly are you trying to insinuate?

Where this quest fits
Before this quest
Taken from the quest's prerequisites.
- Waste Water Cleanup
First things first--I need my base of operations back! But the elementals running amok around here have made it very difficult to gain even a toehold. And of course it is those wretched gnolls' fault.
- A Precision Approach
Gnolls are awful creatures. Smelly. Always scratching, laughing at you. And there are multitudes here and more are constantly arriving. We, and by that I mean you, could reap them like wheat for days and never get anywhere. They can't be suffered to stay here.
After this quest
Taken from a quest that requires this one.
- Third Try's the Charm
What? Another one's seized power? Whatever happened to abhorring a vacuum? Or at least waiting for a respectful period of mourning to pass in order to keep up appearances? Do they have no decency? No sense of propriety? No respect for a well-crafted plan? I made charts!
- Just To Be Sure
Just... kill anyone who looks like they might be magically inclined. Or has organizational skills. Or looks overly ambitious. Really, just use your best judgement on this one. Your "best judgement" is to stop speaking to me? Come on, <class>! They're... up to something nefarious, obviously!
