So apparently a Colombian drug lord's hippo is the top target on Colombia's hit list. It seems as if the country itself is out to kill this hippo. The story gets weirder.
-First, the hippo apparently escaped in 2006. 2006. It is now 2009.
-Second, a Bogota-based beer company offered to bring in animal specialists to capture the hippo so it wouldn't have to be killed. A beer company?
-Third, the hippo's mate, Pepe, was killed by a bullet through the heart.
-Fourth, the public is outraged by the "death sentence" imposed on hippos.
-Fifth, the hippos were part of drug lord Pablo Escobar's zoo - he died in 1993 after using all his drug money to bring in exotic animals.
-Sixth, they've called off the witch hunt on the hippo and have opted to try and save it now (See "Second" supra).
This story, in addition to it's content, is ridiculous!
