They should be better prepared to use tranquilizer darts and other non-lethal means of controlling escaped animals. Sounds like this innocent gorilla was killed because zoo officials were too disorganized to distribute the right equipment to the people who needed it.

I may be wrong. You really can't tell from a newspaper report, but I just can't buy the zoo's explanation. Taking care of getting the people out of danger and caring for the wounded first only allows the animal to do more harm.
