Anant Ambani, the younger son of Mukesh Ambani, has made a public appeal to the Colombian government to reconsider its decision to cull 80 'cocaine hippos'. These hippos are descendants of animals brought to Colombia by drug lord Pablo Escobar in the 1980s. Ambani proposed relocating them to Vantara, a wildlife rescue and rehabilitation center in Jamnagar, Gujarat, India, established by the Reliance Foundation. He highlighted the moral obligation to protect these animals, stating they did not choose their circumstances. Vantara's CEO, Vivaan Karani, confirmed the facility's readiness to provide a safe and enriched environment for the hippos, ensuring their welfare while reflecting aspects of their natural habitat. The Colombian government has approved the euthanasia of these hippos due to their invasive nature and ecological impact, including damage to the Magdalena River and threats to local fishermen. Ambani's initiative aims to provide a humane alternative and a permanent home for the animals.
