Hippo’s kill hundreds of people in Africa every year. People on this side of the world like them because they’re cute.
I watched an animal show about these hippo’s. They’re breeding in the wild now and taking over a river. They’ve got to go.
With bullets made of platinum
Because if I use leaden ones
His hide is sure to flatten 'em.
-Hilaire Belloc, "The Bad Child's Book of Beasts"
