Here on Germany we have official hunter-dog-teams for the tracking of animals. If tracking is difficult or dangerous, you can call one of these people who will then come with their highly trained dog, find the animal and put it out of its misery.
The stories I’ve heard of their encounters with extremely angry, big boars in the thick, deep undergrowth of the forest or reed beds and the wounds I have seen, together with the knowledge that the little money they are given on a voluntary basis doesn’t make up for the costs and effort they have and that their biggest goal is to end or prevent the suffering of an animal, makes me think that those people are silent heroes and need balls of steel to face those boars close-up.
That dude who puts the first cone out when they close a freeway.
Anything to do with clinical infectious diseases.

Or the healthcare workers who caught ebola and died.
Doing a job you hate because you have no other option.
