I'm surprised that nobody has suggested this yet.........if I was allowed to carry (preferably concealed) on duty, the camel wouldn't be a problem......:ph34r:

Or a Tiger either, for that matter.

Shoot a tiger with a pistol that would only make it madder because for a tiger either a 12 gauge with at least 00 buck or a rifle is what one would use.

The minimum caliber for dangerous game in Africa is generally .375 H&H, keep that in mind for your cartridge selection.

Quite simply, if security at some place like a zoo, or an industrial complex, or a military installation tells me it's not safe to enter, I'm inclined to believe them.

Most conflicts in life are a lack of communication:

The Zoo Security Dispatcher could have had a scanner to hear the EMS was enroute. The EMS dispatcher could have called the zoo.

The secuirty could have escorted EMS in and have them standby while they ensure scene is safe.

At that point, the scene was determined to be unsafe by security, hence why they didn't let EMS in.

Without hearing both side of the story, my hunch is that is what happened.

The media loves stories of responders doing nothing.

There is always 'staging' for the public, putting on a 'show' , in hindsight, the security could have brought them onto the complex a little closer to the scene, so there would be a public perception of standing by.

The general public is ignorent about most operational realities but at the same time we dont work in a vacumn.

I do not blame the rank and file, the bosses could have done a little more policy and protocol wise to placate the reality of public perceptions.
