That was covered in the next sentence "These kills can often include animals that are disabled but which take a while to die or which need finishing off". Apparently the animal usually goes into shock after a brief panicked response.
It depends what you mean by quick, which in this case I suspect should be measured against the time needed to get the victim to a decent healer.

Yes, hopefully the archer has enough of a head-start to get away.

I would have thought this was almost mandatory :)

Trickier against an archer than against a man with a dagger, I suspect you will run out of breath pretty quickly when running with an arrow through a lung. Ideal for berserkers of course.
