It happens. When I was a kid in 1977 living in Dennisport (Dennis is the north side of the Cape and the manatee is actually off Dennisport, but what’s accuracy in the media?) there was a manatee corpse washed up on the beach right at the Harwich line. It’s rare, but not unheard of.

This is the farthest north that a wayward manatee has ever been reported,

They're not even native to north America so that should have been the first surprise.......

Shoot-em and cook-em, they're worthless and pose a greater risk to boaters who may hit them with their motors then face legal action.

How much is this going to cost?
--Total cost?
--Cost of each manatee saved?

Whose paying for it? Private? State? Federal?
--If state and/or Federal (a.k.a. in/out of state taxpayers) Why??

He came up the Gulf Stream traveling from the Straits of Florida toward the Grand Banks, no doubt. He's lucky he didn't end up in the UP of Michigan ... or he'd have been euthanized because of the public gawkers.


Affectionately known as ''Dennis,'' a manatee has strayed hundreds of miles from home.
