Indian magnate Anant Ambani, son of billionaire Mukesh Ambani, has offered to take in at his wildlife sanctuary in India, 80 “cocaine hippos” currently living in Colombia, where the government is planning to cull them.

    Well, if he wants them, and is going to pay for transport… Definitely better than killing them. I don’t think Colombians would mind if he took all 160.

      Not at all. He can knock himself out capturing and taking as many as he wishes. As long as they are removed from the environment they are wrecking, it’s all the same if he pays to kill or relocate them. And obviously no one likes killing large mammals if there’s an easy alternative.

    First, amazing he’s offering this… but aside from housing and feeding 80 hippos… how on earth do you get EIGHTY hippos from Colombia to India?

    ONE would be challenging. 10 would be logistically difficult.

    EIGHTY??!?!??🤔
