Not true. However, when fighting any animal, there is a chance it will or won't flee. It's not a hard value such as "do 60% damage to it," which is why you want to make sure you do this. As I understand, it's based more on how much damage you're doing in a hit/per time unit vs total hit points of damage taken. Frequently enough, if you don't set the combat to "peaceful" yourself, the animal will fail to do it and you'll kill it. Or the animal will run and you won't notice moments before landing one more hit that just happens to be the killing blow.
to note: this is true of any combat with animals, whether taming or if your goal is hunting for meat.
