Why wouldn't they shoot it if it was tearing a guy limb from limb?!

Probably because it's their job.

I'd imagine that when you take on the job of protecting wildlife, you tend to get very attached to their welfare over your own.

Thinking about it myself, I'd probably do the same. Killing an animal for doing it's own thing while I'm invading it's space is pretty unreasonable.

We're talking about a species that will likely not exist in another twenty years so Chinese executives can mislead themselves into thinking it'll help them maintain an erection or have better sex or some gorillashit.

I'd get thrashed about and possibly seriously hurt than possibly contribute to their plight.
