I think it would be stupid for them to do so, because it is not like it is a rabid dog out loose on the streets or something. I do think someone should be charged a fine for this though, for the killing of an endangered species.
Tranquilizers take 10 to fifteen minutes. All the primatologists are saying the zoo did exactly what they should have.

I think they could still have done more without shooting the gorilla. There has been other instances in which a child has fallen into a gorilla exhibit and they were able to recuse the child without shooting the gorilla. Now I know each instance is going to be different, but to me it sure seems like more could have been done.
