The hippos in Colombia should be exterminated

r/

Ever since a cartel boss’s hippos were set free and started reproducing they have been destroying the environment in the country, threatening the lives of human citizens and destroying the local wildlife. I know we all want a magic solution that takes care of the issue “humanely”, but the truth is, getting rid of them is realistically the most viable choice.

Animal rights activists should start thinking about the species these creatures are destroying before protesting for their protection.

    I’d eat a hippo burger.

    They could, potentially, be relocated back to a space where they aren’t an invasive species.

    Why; it’s a good environment for them; if it wasn’t for continental drift, they’d be there too.

    I totally agree. They’re an invasive species and therefore, have no rights. Exterminate them all.

    I agree, but I will add my unpopular opinion: they are not destroying the enviorment, they are altering it.
