Head shot?
With all the environmental attitudes pushed in college these days, and a zoo director requiring a college degree I will make one prediction ----- it was a non lead bullet.
Shoulda tranq'd him instead of killing IMO. Humans sure arent 'critically endangered'. Odds are kid woulda came out of it ok if they would have gone that route, if he didnt, its his own damn fault (or his mothers)....
Doubtful. Pretty sure a 243 would bounce off a gorilla just like it bounces off deer.
Gorilla life > Child life. sure, makes sense.
Id like to hear you say the same thing if it was a kid of yours.

Depends on your perspective I guess... Like I said, really good chance the gorilla wouldnt have hurt the kid anyway so its not really a this or that, more like a this or a slim chance of that. If they would have been smart enough to clear away the crowd, that was obviously bothering him and stuck him with a tranq, prolly would have turned out fine. If he wanted to hurt the kid, he probably would have, looked to me in the video like it was actually trying to protect the child, at least for part of the time.

That's what the news said, then he drug the kid across the pond by his foot. Later he was fiddling with the kids pants. I thought he was about to butt jump the kid.Depends on your perspective I guess...
