Find a big artery close to the skin surface, sever it.
Have you seen a headless chicken freaking out and running around before bleeding out and dying? Now imagine that, except the chicken is 12 m tall, weighs 8.8 metric tonnes, still has its head, and that head is full of teeth the size of a kitchen knife.

I would be very surprised if a T-Rex had any major artery close enough to its skin to get pierced by a standard hunting knife. That would’ve been a major evolutionary flaw considering the other animals they were up against.

That really depends on the shape of the animal and how it’s hunting. E.g. leopards, tigers or most predatory birds don’t have a well-protected neck at all, and it’s probably not shaped like an elephant seal.
