Such a shame that the child got into the hands of the gorilla in the first place. For a situation such as this the zoo made the best decision that it could. Yes I am sure that it is hard for these animals to be in a zoo to begin with. The child’s life is top priority. It was a shame that there wasn’t anything more effective that they could of used that would of knocked out the gorilla immediately. Based on the information given they did what they had to do.
