Some years back a kid fell into a gorilla enclosure and the animal picked the kid up and put it by a door it knew humans came in and out of to get into the animals enclosure. How come they didn’t shoot that gorilla?
She was a female that was raised with people and was used to humans.This one was no raised this way.
Begs the question, it it were your kid in this case, would you risk opting to stand by and wait to see if this animal was going to remain polite and gentle? That’s a hell of a gamble.
