Hippos are extremely dangerous and viscious.
I think you should follow that last sentence with a description of why that matters. I know by inference, but some may miss your point that by “killing any dog that pisses them off” they were selectively breeding for obedience to the alpha to the exclusion of all else. And then maybe extrapolate on how that trait translates into fierce loyalt to one individual which makes everything else a potential target for attack.

Although there was no intended malice involved
Yeah, what harm could come from making a gradeschooler think about getting shot or going to jail every time they take a test? I’m sure it will provide great motivation instead of turning the poor kids into nervous wrecks.
