“They are living, sentient beings, and if we have the ability to save them through a safe and humane solution, we have a responsibility to try.”

So I’m only going to offer to save half of them.

But seriously, I’m glad he’s able to help. I wish he could find a way to keep them where they are while also protecting the local environment because the story of these hippos is great and could be a nice tourism draw for Columbia, but even saving some from culling is a good thing.
