Funnily enough, if you play a blood elf hunter through the zone, instead of lamenting that he's been assigned such an inexperienced ranger, his dialogue is more about taking you under his wing to teach you the ways of the farstriders (the belf ranger corps)
Click on Pet Utility button that is in your spell book and the tame beast ability will pop up. Took me a minute to figure out were the tame beast ability was located.

Description
A hunter like yourself needs a good pet by your side. Did you not bring one with you? Hmm. I suppose I shall have to compensate for your lack of training. Listen closely and learn quickly. I will teach you how to tame a beast and make it your pet. You will need one if you are to fight the quilboar.

I have discovered that the quilboar are performing a shadow ritual on a survivor from the missing expedition. The ritual is being performed by the tribe's leader, Geolord Grek'og. Slay Grek'og and save the survivor. Show this brute that the Horde is not to be trifled with.
