Pablo Escobar's Hippos

More on the hippos from 'The Guardian':

I have two thoughts: firstly, the article has put me off eating mangoes, at least for a while. Secondly, it's all shits and giggles with these animals - giving them pet names, and so on - but sooner or later someone is going to get killed.

On a personal note, the (Scottish) sea eagle was noted as long ago as the 17th. century as including children in its diet: at some stage a baby crawling on the beach is going to attract the attention of one of these predator-scavengers, and then the great cry will go up, 'We did na ken!'

I wonder whether anyone has ever fed cocaine to these hippos.

I've just read through most of the article, especially all the effort and money involved trying to neuter these hippo's.

The correct and most cost effective solution still seems to be inviting a gang of AH members for a season.
