I mean if you imagine a scenario like leaving a vehicle running such that a human child could drive it around out of control, and to protect people from the vehicle you killed the kid, we'd undoubtedly be complaining about both letting an innocent being in your care get into the situation where they posed a threat to others, as well as dealing with that threat by killing the innocent being.
The sin is not killing the chimpanzees, the sin is creating a situation where they had to kill the chimpanzees.

So then the state would raise an objection about not filling the paperwork, while also objecting that the human lives were put in danger. But then if they sat down and started to fill out forms and mail them in to get permission, they would have gotten in more trouble over putting lives in danger for even longer. So it's a Kafkaesque kind of a situation.
