Save Hippos From Gruesome Slaughter

Target: Carlos Eduardo Correa Escaf, Minister of Environment and Sustainable Development Colombia

Goal: Protect hippopotami from wrongful death through brutal culling.

Dozens of hippopotami are forced to live in an unnatural habitat, and are now the targets of scientists’ call for eradication. It is claimed that other means to reduce the population are too expensive, and difficult. The animals suffer dreadfully because of people’s indifference.

In the early 80’s Pablo Escobar imported four hippos to his private zoo in Colombia. After Escobar’s death the hippopotami remained in Colombia and reproduced at a high rate. Today there are nearly one hundred hippopotami residing in Colombia with fatal predictions for their future.

The presence of hippos in Colombian waters has a positive influence on the water quality. Fish kills and pulses from hippos increase the nutrients and species diversity. They also create new habitats for a variety of animals within the rivers. The hippopotami even benefit animals that are living on land by providing new and alternative food sources. The government’s decision to viciously cull them provoked a public outcry, and the action was paused. Now however, scientists say that the horrible mass extermination should go ahead.

The hippopotami in Colombia need to be protected from an unjust death and the senseless mistake of introducing a new species to an alien country must be corrected. Efforts to sterilize the animals were carelessly abandoned but must be revived as an ethical way to allow them to live out their lives peacefully.

Sign below to take action against the wrongdoing of man and save the innocent lives of Colombia’s hippos.

PETITION LETTER:

Dear Carlos Eduardo Correa Escaf,

The hippopotami residing in Colombia are not to blame for their presence in your country. It is unjust to call for the death of these innocent animals, only to reduce the cost of more ethical means.

Scientists found out that the presence of hippos benefits the water quality. Furthermore, they increase the nutrients and the variety of species in rivers, and supply land animals with new sources of food. Despite all these facts, the call for slaughter has been renewed.

Exterminating the hippos is not the right solution, and alternative ways to decrease the population have to be introduced. The hippopotami should be given the chance to live out their lives in a peaceful manner, to rectify their introduction to a foreign country.

Do not allow the slaughter of Colombia’s hippos. Introduce alternative ways to ethically reduce the population and correct people’s error.

Sincerely,

[Your Name Here]

    Don’t be so stupid & ignorant!!! Learn to utilize with what god gives you!!!! You have no right/ authority to kill these beautiful animals. Than if you think you do, this truly shows how DUMB you really are!!!!

  3. Leave these WILD MAJESTIC CREATURES alone!!
    MURDERING HIPPOS is a HORRIFIC ENVIRONMENTAL CRIME.
    These HIPPOS are the HERITAGE of the whole world, and NOT of Colombia ONLY.
    Your OBLIGATION is to TAKE CARE OF THEM IN A RESPECTFUL WAY!
    ALTERNATIVE WAYS SHALL BE USED.
    THE ENTIRE WORLD IS INDIGNANT AT THIS MURDEROUS PLAN

  4. Please!!! You must not kill these beautiful animals just because they’ve become inconvenient to have around. It was not their choice to be there. I’m sure you can afford fertility control and the world would think better of you, just don’t kill them!

  5. http://www.animalbalance.org/hippos Our NGO is working with and Advisory Board of top scientists and biologists to create a birth control program for the hippos. We will use PZP and inject them. The program is being organized this year. We are asking people to symbolically adopt a Colombian Hippo to raise funds for the medical supplies and equipment that is required. Emma Clifford clifford@animalbalance.org. Please adopt a hippo and help us provide birth control for the hippos. Thanks

  6. Oh my gosh, leave the hippos alone! Man can be so stupid and inhumane when it comes to getting what they want. It’s usually the innocent animals who suffer. These animals should be taken care of, not murdered because that’s convenient for people!!

    Please do not kill them. Reimplement the plan to sterilize them, this is critical! The egotistical murderous drug kingpin introduced them for his own ignorant pleasure. Maybe once sterilized they could be a huge moneymaker for your Countries tourism! It would be sinful to kill these majestic creatures that God has blessed you & us with. They can do a lot of good for your Country, please, please rethink this ignorant decision, I implore you to sterilize them, NOT kill them!

  10. Irresponsible assh*le people brought them there! Now people have to help them. It’s not their fault and they shouldn’t be killed because of the assh*les

  11. It’s too late now!
    Idiot man is well on the way to destroying our world for his own greed.
    He rain forests, the seas, and any animal that they can make a profit from killing.
    Especially the greedy Chinese warheads all of their excuses for phone medicine at the expense of tortured animals. Mainly dogs! Very sick humans !!

    No matter, when their are no animals and creatures left in the world for humans to kill and torture, these ‘sikkos’ will then hopefully for sick sport hunt And kill each other
    These are nasty and despicable people who need taking out of our world.
    As I said some time ago vigilante groups spring to mind to terminate these scumbags!!

    It really is sickening that the demented thought processes of Man always seems to lean towards slaughter and death when it comes to wildlife. These animals have every right to life as any human being does and no Man should dictate otherwise.

  14. What is wrong with you people ??? You must be a Cruel Race and love Killing!! You are Demented MONSTERS!!!!

  15. Human beings just can’t do anything right with animals – we either kill them to extinction or breed them where they don’t belong and then try to kill them. Either way, the operative word is KILL. Why is this our ONLY solution to everything? And yet, humans are opposed to the death penalty for even the worst, most vicious murderer, while we kill harmless wildlife just for surviving.

  16. These animals deserve to live out their lives free of harm with their families.

  17. Absolutely unbelievable that they think 100 hippos is too many. I sware people won’t be happy until they have killed the last animal standing on earth. I think all these calls for culling animals is psychos getting excited at the thought of using their guns and killing more life on earth. Please grow up and go to a gun range to target shoot don’t take your sociopathic impulses out on the little bit of wildlife we have left!!!! Leave the hippos alone!

    • David they are definately psychopathic depraved pea size brain animal and wildlife torturing murdering monsters on our planet who get their vile and evil thrill out of torturing and murdering the precious and innocent wildlife and animals.These lowlife are the psychopathic lowlife filthy monsters on our planet who must be hunted down and killed.
      Leave the precious and innocent Hippos alone you lowlife vermin on our planet.

    Our precious and innocent Wildlife and animals are not safe from the vile and evil torturing murdering money hungry lowlife filthy human species. The filthy Wildlife and animal torturing murdering lowlife human species are the vermin on our planet and it is about time the filthy animal and Wildlife torturing and murdering human species was eradicated from the Planet.

  19. Some human beings are horrible and deserve the worst.

    So now it is okay to kill due to lack of convenience for people? Humans give themselves too much credit. We must learn to share land with animals. Imagine if the Hippos were in charge and going to cull the humans. That changes the story. This earth was made for ALL animals and we humans are just another animal, therefore we need to share and not kill every living being due to our feeling of extreme entitlement. Climate change is also an inconvenient circumstance but it will take us longer to kill the climate. It can be done and humans are stupid and selfish enough to do just that!
