Why is it important to ensure that a downed game animal has expired before approaching it?

It is important to ensure that a fallen animal has expired before approaching it to make sure the animal is dead and will not attempt to attack you as a form of defense.

Explanation:

Whenever a hunter is hunting an animal and I believe he has managed to hit one, he must wait for the animal to expire. Animals can attack humans when they feel threatened, no animals want to be hunted, so if the animal is alive and you approach it it can attack violently, creating a very dangerous situation for you, so it is important that before a fallen animal, you wait for the animal to expire in order to get closer.

P.S. Hunting animals is not good practice, it causes the suffering of animals for no reason and diminishes the diversity of the living.
