It's funny, you watch hunting shows and pigs drop like sacks of grain when hit. Depending on if it's Discovery channel or Animal Planet, you get everything from bubbas who man handle the pigs, to being given the idea that wild pigs will survive a 76mm and eat the tank crew. A team in Texas has a great dane in bullet proof armor who knocks over 600lb pigs for his master to rope up.
Or alligators. You see the guy from the Florida alligator rescue get in and swim with wild gators up to 12ft, getting a rope on them and dragging them up on the bank for hand captures. Then you see the gator hunting shows where you get the impressing the same gators will jump in the boat and eat your crew if you don't cap a round in their head with a big hook in their mouth. In other gator shows they hook them the same, pull them to the boat and tape up the mouth. Then drag them in and relocate them.
Similar with crock shows. Philippian gov. crok catchers caught a 30ft crock. Professional crock hunters in Australia have shows where they use a small harpoon or lasso the crock with a stick and head noose in open water. And two or three guys is all they have for crew.
So where does the truth lay when you see people doing this these things business as usual after 20 years of nature shows from the Steve Erwin era?
It's like the grade schoolers in Arizona when a puma was causing trouble locally and one boy was asked by the teacher "what do we do when we see the puma?" The boy said "daddy shoot the kitty!". The kids had been in a seminar where they were given caps with two big eyes on the back and taught to stand big with their arms over their heads yelling loudly "shoo kitty, shoo kitty". Pumas eat children in the USA.
