I think you and I have 2 different opinions of what a "violent action" looks like. Let's face it...in that brief "non-violent" moment , the boy ended up with a concusion. This story could only play out in one direction-deadly. Jack Hanna who spent 30 plus years around gorillas, all but said, monitoring the gorillas actions-he would have killed the boy. And we don't know how the gorilla would have reacted to a tranquilizer dart. He could have associated the pain from the dart directly to the child. Then what would he have done...
