I feel so sorry for this poor girl. How devastated she was from the loss of her hippo friend. RIP Nkululeko. Sadly noted. Thanks Cristina.

The kid's right. No death penalty for a human who intentionally murders another, so why should an animal pay the ultimate price and in this instance without definite proof even?!! Lousy bastards!
