Instead of containing the population that large at a cost of $500,000, they should eat all the hippos save a few that will reproduce, take the cost of that down say 75%, and once the offspring are old enough to procreate you eat the parents! This is an opportunity for infinite bacon. ish.
I think it was in Guns, Germs and Steel where i read that if an animal or plant is not currently farmed by us then there is probably a good reason. I'd imagine Hippos are just too dangerous to farm. That being said there is nothing to say we couldn't have a mass BBQ now and eat our fill. Imagine the meat sweats from eating hippo! I bet the babies are succulent.
