If you have ever had anesthetic you know it doesn't work immediately. If shot with a tranquilizer dart the very large primate would have reacted to it violently and thought the new thing in its area aka the child was the reason for the pain. Shooting it cleanly like they did with one shot was the safest for the kid.
