Get yore shit together Florida and feed those fuckers!
Florida's manatees are still starving to death
Officials found 16 bodies on Friday, as cold weather moved in.
More than 1,000 of them have died so far this year, according to the Florida Fish and Wildlife Conservation Commission. That's more than any year in state history, according to the commission. It's especially grim considering there are just about 6,000 manatees in all of Florida's waters, according to Save the Manatee.

1000 4 years ago would have been extinct.More than 1,000 of them have died so far this year, according to the Florida Fish and Wildlife Conservation Commission. That's more than any year in state history, according to the commission. It's especially grim considering there are just about 6,000 manatees in all of Florida's waters, according to Save the Manatee.
"Many of those manatees that did finally succumb to the starvation, their organs were really deteriorated," Rose said. "It was just really an agonizing death."
With Florida's manatees dying in record numbers, groups are trying to save them
Humans caused this problem and we need to fix it, said Cora Berchem, who works for the nonprofit Save the Manatee.
If they don't learn then they weren't meant to be here. Beautiful docile creatures tho.
Damn, didn’t know we got them in Shem Creek. See a shitload of dolphin hanging out around the shrimp boats though.
