We eat the fat and ugly animals. We try to domesticate the furry and cute ones.

The gorilla doesn't understand statistics. The most dominate predator in the world does.... But doesn't care.
In regard to the question... There was no choice but to shoot the gorilla. If they didn't and it killed the kid ..the piss would hit the fan.
The kid is now going through treatment for a complete fear and paranoia of bananas and the Empire State building
