Male gorillas aren’t very gentle with their own young that said I think they were a bit quick on the trigger.

I think they did the right thing

Are you going into the gorilla cage to convince the gorilla to put down the child?

I think not.....

Nobody has thought through, what does one do to convince the ‘nice gorilla’ to put the child down.......

A 400 lb. gorilla can crush with one hand that kid’s head. In an instant. Like a grape.

So who’s going to holler “DON’T SHOOT!” if it’s THEIR kid in the grasp of a gorilla?

The gorilla was treating the child exactly how a gorilla treats a baby gorilla . Doesn’t matter the keeper called it back and it refused to come so the zoo had to do what it had to do.
