Upside, they are sloths. Most are really phlegmatic. Some are more pugnacious, so depends what type you can get back.
Downside, they all have enormous claws and a huge reach, like twelve feet on some. They could slice you like a loaf of bread without even meaning it.
Best hunted by standing way back and peppering them with spears. Pit traps work if you can get a sloth into one. A mammoth you could run up and hamstring, if you were crazy enough, pin it down and finish it off. A sloth, the danger isn't charging, it's those damn arms.
Am I in favor? Hell yes, they're delicious. Slow growing but a truly massive amount of meat on one.
