So monkey & snails are one thing but Colombian hippos are the most interesting invasive species primarily cause of their connections to the sweet white powder & her greatest seller, Pablo Escobar (the original not Nas)

Time for another thread https://twitter.com/liltfromthepack/status/1352261393609842688

So like I couldn’t find any proof that’s European colonizers involve in the mess but like... the Spanish colonize Columbia for a good period of time so like... it is what it is... they involve. My third eye said they are, I won’t be convince otherwise

So Pablo, for persons who aren’t aware, is the most famous cocaine drug lord; rags to riches story. Di man is the OG for the cocaine drug trade; everybody after him... student. Me nuh wah guh too much ina him cause him story long but watch Narcos pon Netflix... bad piece a show

Now Pablo a mek crazy money. He had nowhere to put it so he kept it in his house till all rats start eat it & it not even affect his pocket. Now Pablo never did a tek coke but he was aroun it so me nuh know, osmosis maybe,it get to him & he decided he gettin hippos AS PETS

Listen... hippos are villains. They are not meant to be pets. They are literally the most dangerous creatures in the world. There’s a reason Jazmine Sullivan seh “lions, tigers & bears” she never mentioned hippos for a good reason cause why was this thing created...

Now a hippo can run at 30kph & swim at 8 & have dinosaur level jaw bones. They weigh roun 8000lbs so some can sit on a crocodile & crush it to death

Again, this man wanted the world’s most dangerous creature... AS PETS

But in the words of Rick James “coke is a hell of a drug”

So Pablo guh suh boom now and bought 4 hippos to Colombia at his private zoo at his ranch in Hacienda Napoles, Columbia. Him nuh seh mek him buy the same sex enuh, no this man buy 3 female hippos and 1 male hippos & in tru animal fashion, the male hippo, seduce & fornicate

Now roun the 90’s, US sen in some agents to deal wid Pablo cause one bagga whites in the US dying from coke cause let’s be honest when do they really care bout the drug epidemic. So yeah, mans dem roll up pon Pablo & him afi run weh from his house & abandoned the hippos.. sigh

Guh suh boom now & 1994 forward & Pablo a move pon a roof cause him a run from di police & dem shot him dead. Pablo legacy is making at the time, Medellin, one of the most crime ridden city in the world & creating a blueprint for cocaine trade in North America & yes, the hippos

Now Columbia dealt with the crime issue of Medellin (Jamaica, they did LAW, POLICE, SOCIAL & CRIMINAL reform so case study ) but the hippos... the hippos was a no. They move from 4 in 1980’s to having over 80 in 2019 but still... dem disrupting a baga tings... SO TASK FORCE FORM

Hippos out here a pass dem waste in the water & cause di growth of algae & that affect water quality. Then, they are killing other creatures. And attacking humans. In May, a man on the move & buck pon a hippo & one nearly tek off him head top; mans still critically injured

Now the Hippo task force was like culling them (same ting that the Cayman Task Force is doing with their Iguanas crisis) but ppl were like yeow dats cruelty & animals rights person were in agreement so government pause that & try sumn again

So them try sterilization but that nuh really effective cause pree from 2011 to 2019, 4 males were castrated and 2 females were sterilized, but that nah stop the hippos fast enough... they still breeding & a female hippos has only one calf every 2 years and live for 40-50 years

So now in 2021 & the crisis getting worse so Task Force met again & it look like a culling aguh guh down in the next couple of weeks. But memba the hippos dem are dangerous & hard to catch so it’s not like it’s in the humans favour. My money is on Pablos’s hippos

#winnerswin

But see now culling is inhumane to such big creature so it nuh look effective & sterilization nuh sustainable so I am waiting for someone to come up with the obvious option: JERK HIPPO. They have resemblance to pigs so...

So Columbia might won the war against Pablo Escobar but these hippos are a different type of badniss so now we sit comfortable & see what Columbia is up to in the upcoming days.

And before I go I figure it out:
These black hippos came illegally from Africa to serve rich Columbians & now that they have populate & live in the country they are seen as nuisance. What does this soun like?

RACE SLAVERY

Pablo got the blueprint from white ppl... I blame them
