What would you do?

Just for fun I thought that I would throw this news item into the ring. What would you do about this situation? Would you let it roam free or try to capture it? How would you capture it and move it?

Shoot it with a sleepy dart and drag it home with the mighty Cummins. Then give it to my daughter for a late Christmas present. She said she wanted a hippopatumus for Christmas. Only a hippopatumas will do

OK, now you have it at home, you going to make your daughter clean up behind it? You going to pay to feed it?
BTW, when a hippo poops, it swished it's tail very fast and the poop flies everywhere.
