I considered that as well, and would possibly agree if those
2 photos were judged as "stand alones", but when included as
contributing factors to the overall body, I think they work as 
the photog intended.

the shot of the carcass with the fellows arms around it and holding the 
knives 
and the shot of the fellow holding the head of a steer

Personally I put those two shots in the category of environmental 
portraiture.
Others may consider them outside the realm of "documentary."
