As a Colombian I think the symbolism alone of getting rid of the hippos is valuable. Of course there are other factors to weigh, but to me, I see Pablo Escobar as no different from a figure like Osama Bin Laden. He was a terrorist who went to war with the country. He blew up planes and airplanes full of in innocent people. It would be a big negative to me if he got to have a legacy of permanently altering the ecosystem.
