Colombia will euthanize #PabloEscobar’s invasive ‘cocaine #hippos’
After attempts at relocation and sterilization failed, invasive hippos introduced by infamous drug lord will be culled, country announced
“Without this action it is impossible to control them,” said Colombia’s environment minister. Population could reach 500 individuals by 2030, “affecting our ecosystems and native species,” she added “it is our responsibility to take this action.”

Colombia’s Environment Ministry has warned that the country’s invasive hippo population, which has been left unchecked since drug kingpin Pablo Escobar brought a pair to his villa in the 1980s, will exceed 500 by 2030 without intervention. Officials recently approved a euthanasia plan, but animal rights activists say the measure is “murder” and residents of Puerto Triunfo say they rely on the tourism the animals bring.

"Colombia to cull up to 80 hippos linked to drug lord Pablo Escobar

Introduced by Pablo Escobar in the 1990s, the hippos are a tourist attraction but a headache for authorities and locals.

Colombia has approved plans to cull dozens of hippos roaming across a region in the centre of the country.

Environment Minister Irene Velez announced the decision on Monday, with up to 80 of the invasive species to be euthanised after previous attempts to control the population proved too expensive or ineffective."
