Why would someone want to shoot such a big stupid animal...
My guess is not to eat it...
Then you'd be guessing wrong. EVERY BIT of that animal will be consumed, either by the hunting party or the local villages adjacent to or in the concession where the animal is taken. It's mandatory. Further, hippos kill more people than any other animal in Africa except crocs and of course mosquitoes.
A good principle to guide me through life: “This is all I have come to expect, standard lackluster performance. Trust nothing, believe no one and realize it will only get worse…”
