Seeing the manatees at Blue Spring state park was a highlight of our trip to Florida. The manatees seem so gentle and slow-moving and harmless. Hate to hear they are struggling.
Spoken like a true tourist. Here's hoping that every single Manatee in the state freezes into a solid block of ice and floats back into the Caribbean - where they invaded us from.
Some of us who live in Florida have watched these things (a non-native exotic species) used as an excuse to destroy people's property rights and kill segments of many industries like boating, fishing, tourism etc.
