Show me where it says the animal would go under in a minute and the effects of the animal before he has gone under. Let's say Hypothetically the animal goes down in 60 seconds... During the first 30 seconds, he gets agitated and decides to grab the child, and in the process tears off one of his arms... Just seems like there is a element of risk involved. Where as death is certain.

Self explanatory really. PROTIP: the preparation of this tranq is designed for rhinos and elephants. Anyone with any biology experience knows the relationship between mg/kg.
Large Animal Immobilon is a combination of etorphine plus acepromazine maleate. An etorphine antidote Large Animal Revivon contains mainly diprenorphine for animals and a human-specific naloxone-based antidote, which should be prepared prior to the etorphine. A 5–15 mg dose is enough to immobilize an African elephant and a 2–4 mg dose is enough to immobilize a Black Rhino.[4]
Its in hindsight but what injuries did the child have? Anything aside from some scuffs?
Gorillas are mostly non-violent, they don't do rending attacks at all, they mostly punch and throw and push. If a gorilla does a rend attack it means its very very very angry, and it getting hit with a tranq dart doesn't cut it. It would just assume it was being attacked from outsiders, the gorilla was already being protective of the child and probably would have continued to protect it.
Chimps would have shredded the kid into pieces limb from limb as soon as he fell into the pit. We have plenty of evidence to back this up.
