This might be the dumbest fricking plan I’ve ever heard. Might as well propose releasing a bunch of lions and tigers to take care for boar problem. Hippos kill more humans than any other animal save for the mosquito. They’re the animal the Croc Hunter feared the most.

We are suppose to have manatees in lake ponchatrain and other coastal water bodies but we have destroyed their habitat.

Why? I think I'd been cool. Not like they'd be a difficult to extinguish invasive species. Such large animals with low birthing rates could be quickly controlled.

You would have to duck hunt out of a tree if we had hippos in Louisiana.

Yeah even then, how would you collect your kills? Still sending Fido paddling in the middle of hippo infested waters? No thanks. Your hunting dog is a small snack to a hippo.

Hippos eating meat is either aberrant behavior or starvation. They won't eat a dog.

We could save the rhinos by bringing some to the U.S.
