The sighting in Florida this week of a manatee with “Trump” in block letters on its back has prompted an investigation and a plea for help from a nonprofit conservation group.

The Center for Biological Diversity said it was offering a $5,000 reward for information leading to a conviction “for the cruel and illegal mutilation” of a threatened manatee in the Homosassa River in Citrus County, on Florida’s Gulf Coast.

The U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service and the Florida Fish and Wildlife Conservation Commission began investigating after the manatee was discovered on Sunday, the center said. The discovery was reported by the Citrus County Chronicle.

Don't fuck with endangered animals. Seriously, what the fuck. Whoever did this definitely deserves the pounding they're about to get from DNR.

Even if it's just algae that's still shitty. Leave the animals alone; go write DRUMPF on a human landwhale, there's plenty of those in America.

Side note, I wouldn't be surprised if either a deranged Q-tard or a falseflagging Antifaggot did this. "Gotcha, opposing side, I just wrote the name of He Who Must Not Be Named on a damn manatee! Get fucked retards!"

It's a message from Q.

It's literally nothing. They took their finger and moved some algae off. The fat fish wasn't hurt. It's the same as running your finger over a dusty window. If you're legit upset over this you should be drowned in the ocean.

Obviously the critter wasn't bothered by it as it didn't move when the guy was writing on it. Probably didn't even notice it was happening.

I don't give a shit if you're an Antifaggot or a Trumptard, leave animals alone.

Ahhhhh... That's the slippery slope, my friend. First we protect the manatees, next thing you know, animal-identifying/fucking troons will be demanding the same protection, and that, like, cannot stand, man. No quarter for the furries.

I was just down in Florida, [...] annoying as fuck.

Yes and you were expecting what exactly?

 

[Klaptrap]

Gayyyyyy. If you're gonna fuck with animals, at least tattoo a shark or something dangerous.

 

[Shield Breaker]

I was just down in Florida, and honestly, the Trumpsters down there are annoying as fuck. Reminds me of the radlibs where I live.

I was having lunch on the intracoastal, when some boat flying a Trump flag and blasting country music started idling near the restaurant and started shouting slogans. As if anyone eating a 20 dollar salad would want to just start chanting along with him. Sad.

There's a shit ton of Cubans down there.

What the fuck, thats just fucking cruel

Although its Florida

 

[ColtWalker1847]

They didn't actually carve the letters into the Manatee did they?

No, they didn't. But it got people to freak the fuck out as if they did.

Ain't nobody getting upset about the algae though. Nobody is getting mad about the real species that got hurt here.

 

[ZombiefiedFerret]

lmao bitch ass manatee.

 

[Fanatical Pragmatist]

I have no problem with storming federal property, but this crosses a line.

There's a shit ton of Cubans down there.

Florida IS a dump.

Oh the huge manatee! Jokes aside, why a manatee of all things? I'm putting my money on not politically related, but a meth head having fun. Everyone blaming Trumptards and Antifags without considering the possibility that some people just want to watch the world burn.

Whether you like Donald Trump or not that wasn't a particularly good idea. It's funny, yes, that I have a couple of boomer co-workers who think it was Antifags with Trump gear who did the violence or at least started it. Can't blame them, really.

Manatees are my favorite animal.
This isn't the first time something like this has happened and it won't be the last.
There's so many hidden places where they swim.
Those who hunt manatees and their babies for sport are some of the weakest people on the planet.

who cares? sea cow was manatifa, got what it deserved
