Pour One Out For Pablo Escobar’s Hippo
11 July 2009, 12:48 PM. By Cindy Casares
Authorities shot and killed a hippo belonging to deceased Colombian drug pin Pablo Escobar today. He went out like his daddy, with a cap in his ass.
Escobar, rich drug lord that he was, had imported dozens of exotic animals like kangaroos, cats and hippos, to live on his ranch in Medellin. After his death, many of them were donated to zoos, but two hippos, two crazy kids in love, managed to escape the zoo, called Napoles, in 2006 and even mated in the wild. Their affair was the stuff of legends. They were the Bonnie and Clyde of imported animals. Rarely seen, their legend became bigger than, well, than two fat-ass African hippos.
But Colombia’s evil Minister of the Environment, Carlos Costa, his heart, no doubt long-ago ripped out by some middle-school harlot, would not rest until they were foiled. After trying, in vain, to enslave them, for two years, the orders came down swiftly. The male was shot and killed and paraded on the television for all of Colombia to see.
“It’s only a question of time before those animals hurt someone. After more than two years of trying to capture them, the decision [to kill them] was a sound one,” Costa said.
Bastardo.
