Cincinnati Zoo Gorilla incident.

[Gman]

they say a chimp is 3 times stronger than a man. They say a gorilla is at least 6 times stronger than a man. We have seen from news stories that a chimp can literally tear a man apart. This gorilla could have on purpose or by accident torn the kids limb off. It was the right move.

Jack Hanna, of TV Fame, has a long involvement with this particular zoo. He's been a good ambassador on the TV over this incident. He stated that 6 men can't physically subdue an adult chimpanzee. A 400 lb. gorilla is a whole other story. He also said that these gorillas are not going extinct, and this was a human being in danger. The gorilla was acting erratically, and a tranquilizer dart would take 5-10 minutes to take effect. The gorilla could have reacted and attacked the child just reacting to the darting.

It's sad that it happened this way, but the correct action was taken.
