Hippos in Colombia

I don't know if anybody is keeping up with the news but there's a serious hippopotamus situation in Colombia. There's interesting documentaries on this too.
Here's the scoop.
Pablo Escobar had pet hippos on his estate. When he died, they were left to their own devices.
The hippos, incapable of knowing any better, started reproducing and thriving.
They escaped the estate and migrated to the colombian village.
One of the hippos was initially killed by rangers but the villagers started an anti-violence campaign so no more hippos would be shot.
Now, there are a bunch of hippos roaming free in the village. They haven't killed anyone yet but they have destroyed people's crops and injured some individuals. Basically, the villagers are starting to realize that hippos are pretty destructive and dangerous, despite being cute and adding charm to the village.
In 10 years, they estimate that as many as 100 hippos may be present.
I'm very curious how this drama will unfold. Hippos are dangerous animals and if they murder somebody's child, the villagers will surely want all the hippos dead.
How do you think this will end? Do you think the villagers and the hippos will find potential harmony?

I think it's really fucked up to be honest. Those stupid hippo parents procreating and shit.. Those hippo kids never asked to be born. Someone should slaughter them all and post the videos on the internet.

With my face against the floor I can’t see who knocked me out of the way. I don’t want to get back up but I have to so it might as well be today. Nothing appeals to me no one feels like me, I’m too busy being calm to disappear. I’m in no shape to be alone contrary to the shit that you might hear. You can't wake up, this is not a dream. You're part of a machine, you are not a human being With your face all made up, living on a screen. Low on self esteem, so you run on gasoline

I predict the hippos will eventually all be slaughtered.

All hippo procreation is rape, similar to how the noble rooster does it

They should take a stance against invasive species while they can and slay them. Bet those fuckers would thrive and wreck havoc in the nearby Amazon basin. Invasive species really piss me off!!
