        ~They could've & should've tranquilized it. Most people know this & i, as well, question why they didn't.

        I've used a tranquilizer n I can tell you that it's not a guarantee that it'll work. Zoo made the right decision.

        ~True. Nothing's 100% foolproof. Perhaps they could've handled it diff/better, or not. Could argue it all day 2 no avail.

        | You can't create national outrage but just saying there is national outrage. But nice try.

        whole world goes crazy when a gorilla is killed. But hundreds get killed in middle east everyday and media stays silent 😶

        It wasn't a slaughter, it was to save a life. We need to stop glamorizing wild animals.

        well I guess for the zoo there was no alternative they would've gotten sued back to the Stone Age if that kid died.

        400 lb gorilla shot dead 2 save 1 child, while 800 lb #Israelgorilla massacred 500 #gazachildren while the world watched. Shame.
