This would be a great way to help the people of Columbia while also helping to end Pablo's legacy.

Could Pablo Escobar's escaped hippos help the environment?
Colombia's "cocaine hippos" are making waves in their new home, but whether that's a good thing or not depends on who you ask.

" According to a 1962 article in The New Scientist, hippos have very little fat and a high yield of edible protein—roughly 1,200 pounds of meat from an average-sized hippo.
But about that porkiness: The terroir of your average African hippo is, of course, influenced by its grass-heavy diet, while those Colombian transplants are stuck with local roughage. (Coca leaves?) The grass leads to a flavor that many describe as unlike any other typical protein. Unless it's blasted with the high, wet heat of a pressure cooker, the meat is lean and tough. It's sometimes dried, salted, and added to a vegetable stew. The skin, which can grow up to two inches thick and exudes a red slime that acts as a natural sunblock, probably doesn't make a very good chicharrón."
"But hippos can be as deadly dead as they are alive. In 2011, 500 people in Zambia were infected with anthrax after eating tainted hippo meat. In 2004, four people in western Uganda died after eating a hippo that "died of a strange disease."
There's a Possible Upside to Eating Pablo Escobar's Hippos
The drug kingpin left behind more than just a trail of cocaine. He also left a small herd of hippos, which could feed a small army of hungry Colombians.

Say no more I'm SOLD!!!! Might need a few new freezers. I've got meat tenderizers and pressure cookers. Slow cook over low heat and I'll do pulled hippo tacos. Anyone up for hippo backstrap? I am!
