I agree with what they did, but that gorilla was an incredible animal. I do not entertain hypotheticals. The world itself is vexing enough. -- Col. Stonehill

The stupid a-holes who were screaming and yelling should have been taken out by a 22RF with a can. Then the kid could have been rescued. There have been two previous incidents like this where calmer heads prevailed and no one died. http://abcnews.go.com/US/gorilla-carries-year-boy-safety-fell-enclosure-1996/story?id=39479586 https://www.thedodo.com/gorillas-rescuing-children-harambe-1834000221.html
