Art and Zum: While I too
Art and Zum: While I too would like to do that one day, keep in mind that as David Attenborough says, the actual killing blow is more or less a formality. The animal is already as good as dead at the end, it would take a week for it to completely recover at least if it could avoid predators for that long which is unlikely. Then again, killing and eating an animal that you've chased for an entire day isn't such a good idea either, it just doesn't taste very good. This might sound a bit macabre but the meat you get from an animal that's been running for so long will be very sour from the lactic acid. The hunter in the video doesn't have a choice, we westerners do. Why not just run in the woods and hunt in a normal fashion using a bow or a rifle? I'd say it's a more humane way to kill an animal...
capmikee: The BBC are prety amazing when it comes to getting the most amazing shots. Then again, they're also amazingly good at cheating. My brother worked with them on a project about ten years ago since he keeps a big collection of Asian pit vipers. They wanted an image of one of his snakes catching a bird in mid-air but instead of doing the simple thing, actually letting it catch a bird, they decided to film the two separately, the snake striking and the bird flying by, and then manipulating the footage to make it look like the snake caught the bird. Seeing as this was some time ago I can't imagine they've gotten any worse at faking it...
