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.

Colombians are divided over the fate of Pablo Escobar's hippos

In Colombia, hippos introduced by Pablo Escobar in the 1980s have become a major issue. The population has grown to around 200, causing safety concerns for locals and tourists. The government plans to euthanize about 80 hippos to control the population, sparking a heated debate. Some scientists support the plan, while animal welfare activists call it “murder.” Locals worry that removing the hippos will harm tourism. Efforts to relocate the animals have stalled due to high costs and legal issues. The government is considering confinement and international transfers as alternatives.
