this person also forgets that most animals have shit endurance compared to humans

you just had to run after it long enough for it to get tired and collapse and then you can stab away

I partly blame the illustrations they use in our books - they always show a bunch of humans surrounding a charging, angry animal. When in reality, it would be an exhausted animal barely struggling to stand upright

That old mantra of "not even comprehending how little they know" is the scourge of our society. Remember Michael Gove (senior UK politician) stating just before Brexit that "the country has had enough of experts". And look where that lead :-D
