If they had to, perhaps they'd have a good chance, but that's not really the way you first started arguing the point. At first you seemed to be more asking 'why didn't somebody do something?' Not phrasing some ridiculous hypothetical which would never happen. For why people didn't do anything we provided many good points based on the story and facts.
1. It all happened too quickly.
2. It is a very dangerous situation, unlike other situations where someone may have a better chance of saving a child. Getting it out of the way of traffic, apprehending a potential abductor, etc.
3. It is a very weird situation, one where a humans fight or flight response would probably be far more unpredictable and favor the wild animals.
4. While there may have been one person there to help, the required 'pack' as you later refined your argument to, probably wouldn't have been there.
5. Because of the entry of the child in the pen, the animals were already in a prey and feeding state, making things more dicey for well meaning humans no matter how smart and scary.
It kinda just feels like you keep refining the frame of your argument. If you want to reduce it to a crazy hypothetical which has nothing to do with the situation and probably would never happen then yeah, it's a different story. But if you are asking why someone or some people didn't do anything here, we've already answered your question very well many times over.
