    What To Do With Pablo Escobar’s Colombian Multiplying Hippos?

    It’s a crime in Colombia to kill the invasive species brought to the country decades ago by narcodealer, Pablo Escobar, even as they stomp around upsetting the native environment. This lady vet is trying to sterilize them, but that ain’t easy when the patients weigh 3,000 to 9,000 pounds and have a very nasty disposition.

    More people are killed in Africa by hippopotamuses than by any other animal (except by other humans) —

    If I was that big, ugly, slow and nobody wanted me to reproduce, maybe I would have a nasty disposition too...

    Hold on!...Maybe that explains a few things......Ben

    About a year ago I finally got around to watching "Narcos" on Netflix. It's basically the pablo story.

    Very entertaining if you like lots of death and destruction. I highly recommend it. "Narcos Mexico" isn't nearly as good.

    Surely, they could figure out a way to move them next door to Venezuela, where the starving masses could pick their bones clean in a few hours.

    I know of a recently retired person with vast experience in herding and controlling distempered, ornery critters who might be tempted to accept the assignment if he was invited to the barbecue......Ben
