Secondly, fuck that stupid zoo.
I understand that a boy's life was in danger, but was there a reason why tranquilizers were not used?

NO, not fuck the zoo nor fuck the parents.
The only thing I am willing to say is about the enclosure design, which needs to be beefed up so this doesn't happen again. Nor do I blame the parents. Kids always get into things, and are more likely to injure themselves at home. But no, I am not against zoos, and I would have shot the gorilla too. Yes it sucks, but we are not talking about poachers in Africa shooting one for a trophy.
Yes dumbass, because tranquilizers take time to sink in, and have to pierce the skin which would cause it pain which he could have reacted to violently and killed the kid. There was no time to wait or risk pissing the gorilla off. I do think every zoo though, as a result of this, should review designs and find and fix gaps so that they don't have to do this.
It is one thing to advocate for better treatment of animals, but this is absurd. I doubt seriously anyone with a kid facing the same thing they did as parents is going to say "fuck the kid".
