killed by an Elephant???

[LAC]

Interestingly MB. I've been on safari in Kenya and in our open air safari truck we were accompanied by two game keepers, both of whom had loaded assault rifles. I asked don't you guys use tranquilizer guns? One just solumnly shook his head. No, he said, it takes too long to work. If an animal presents a danger to tourists we just shoot it dead, we don't take any chances, although we have respect for the animals, they are all dangerous. Even ones people don't think are dangerous, like zebras, can be very dangerous and very aggressive. The one we watch for the most though is the black rhino, if it's very angry it could overturn this vehicle and stamp all of us to death given the chance. Opened my eyes - even just going on a safari as a tourist is a potentially dangerous experience.
