IMO, it would be fairer to say that well-run zoos have a range of contingency plans for emergency situations. In some extreme scenarios, the least bad option is to kill the animals most likely to escape zoo grounds, harm humans, and evade recapture.

Just like people, they’ll even hunt their own species (and even from same group).
Apes and polar bears are top kills.
Harambe!

Never trust a chimpanzee.
They’ll tear off your face like your in a Garth Ennis comic.
Humans don’t care to have the competition….
