Would it have been OK with you if they carved "BLM" or "Kamala" onto its back?

Is that because the person didn't fully clean the animal, just partially.

Obviously written by someone who doesn't know much about marine mammals. It doesn't appear there was any carving here. Many marine mammals have algae, dead skin and other assorted growths on their bodies. Looks like someone shaved off the president's name. They are Federally protected so it probably wasn't the wisest move to bother one.

Now if you want to go after what really hurts these animals go after reckless boaters, who injure and kill many of these speeding through the waterways where they live.

There is no average Trump supporter. Most people, even those that voted for him, hate the guy.

People voted for him as a protest..against career politicians.You know..them and their freaking families, as apparently politics is a family business now...Isn't it?

We've got a new ruling class, don't we?....And the idiots that watch the View, followed Oprah (who made a career out of trying to lose weight), and all the other idiocy, keep voting them back in, for their single issue politics.

So, it is certainly sad that this happened (if it did, I do not know). But this is just the general sickness on both the right and the left today...

Manatee was loving it.....a back scratch

here's the video that goes with the article....couldn't be any clearer.....there's no cuts...no carving...none of that bull$h1t ...someone just used their fingers to scrape the algae off > https://bloximages.newyork1.vip.town...8fa3.video.mp4

and the lying media even used that video as proof of the lies they were telling....got away with it....because people really are that stupid
I've heard they can get very used to humans. I'm guessing someone was diving and decided to make this friendly manatee an art project. As you pointed out, it stayed contentedly in place. Note the letters are quite readable, would be much more difficult for them to be legible if the writer had a moving target.

Oh there's serious doo-doo whether the message was 'carved' or 'scratched'. That's without regard to 'intent' of the person(s) involved.
Going hy the law its likely no law was broken unless (unlikely)the manatee was annoyed by a back scratching.

So now that its all played out its the same old story. Liberal media manufactures outrageously dishonest story to make trump look bad. Liberals engage in feigned shock related finger pointing. Story is revealed a hoax. Liberals double down or scatter, waiting for their next hoax.

Many will repeat the hoax as truth for years.

Read post 105. Probably the algae already on the manatee scraped off to write Trump - but I’m just glad was not a carving
