It may be only in America and no. I would not have warn a gorilla suit for a training exercise. Nope. No way. Even as a drill, there is room for error and that is not the kind of error that I would volunteer for. If other people want to volunteer? Great.
Also, animals that escape their pens and cages at the zoo have often made it to the outside world... If they had run a drill for that, he would have been shot dead in the street I think. Hopefully they will not even think of attempting that... especially not after this little blunder.
Again, it may be only in America but most Americans know that. That's why there aren't lines of folks lining up to volunteer for this sort of thing.
The vet opened fire with a narcotic dart that struck the man in the leg leading him to require hospital treatment at the University Hospital of the Canary Islands. - See more at: www.abovetopsecret.com...

God... Some people lack so much common sense that it's hard to believe they can still draw air into their lungs.
He deserved exactly what he got IMO. He's lucky somebody didn't shoot him dead. If he had been outside the zoo... it would have been another story I think.
Who would have ever thought that this wasn't a Nobel peace prize winning idea???

He was participating in a practice drill to simulate the escape of a gorilla from one of the habitats. He was doing what he being asked to do, but no-one told the vet, who just saw a large gorilla wandering around.
