Manatees deserve better
Florida wildlife officials are appealing to the public for help after a manatee was found with U.S. President Donald Trump’s last name carved into its back.
…
The animal was reported to authorities over the weekend, the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service told the Citrus County Chronicle. Anyone with information is being asked to contact Florida Fish and Wildlife Conservation.
A harassment investigation is underway. A spokesperson for the FWS declined to comment to the Chronicle, citing the ongoing investigation. He added that harassing a manatee is a crime punishable by up to one year in prison and a US$50,000 fine.
It’s not the first time that a Trump tag has appeared on a wild animal. Conservationists in North Carolina were upset last summer when they found a Trump 2020 campaign slogan attached to a bear’s tracking collar.
I guess the message is “Trump hates animals, especially endangered ones, so we’re tormenting them in his honor”?
Hope they catch the bastard. Is it wrong of me to want something carved in his* back?
Just wondering: which Democrat has the longest name?
*Yes, this has to have been done by a man. No doubt at all.
Not Bruce, it doesn’t have to be the longest name…there are names that would really piss off a Trump supporter. AOC comes to mind. Omar. For that matter, Nancy Pelosi wouldn’t be so bad a name, but I would hold out, I think, for Hillary Clinton.
This is heartbreaking. Manatees are the most harmless, most defenseless creatures you can imagine. Why would anyone intentionally inflict harm on one? Who could possibly enjoy digging a knife into a helpless animal for no reason other than shits and giggles?
Lack of empathy… Everyone else in the world serves no purpose but their own amusement.
And… YNnB:
Get in line…
