I sincerely doubt anyone at that zoo didn't suffer a severe emotional loss that day. That was an awful situation, and while I do think the zoo has the blame it is not because of their decision that day. For the employees, the death of an animal at a zoo can easily cause grief akin to the death of a family member or pet, depending on how closely they worked with the animal.
Once that child was in the enclosure they really didn't have time to try out different options that may have aggravated Harambe. Any option, including the lethal one, presented a risk to the child. They chose the option they thought gave the best chance to save the child.
Where the zoo has blame is the design of the habitat such that a child could just crawl in. I know they've learned from their terrible mistake and changed the design, but they really should have known better in 2016.
