Another illogical thing with animals.
If you throw something at them and knock them down, they will stay sitting indefinitely.
Only way they stand up is after you attack them. I just sat in a room with a poisoned critter that was knocked down by my poisoned thing, and it just sat there for a good 15 minutes.
I think they should have the code that when they are knocked to sitting, they attempt to stand back up versus just laying there.
