Was ‘TRUMP’ Carved into a Florida Manatee’s Back?

from Snopes,

Mutilating a manatee carries a fine of up to $100,000 upon conviction.

Claim
An endangered Florida manatee was discovered with the word “Trump” carved into its back.

Origin
In mid-January 2021, Florida wildlife officials announced that they were investigating the illegal mutilation of a threatened Florida manatee after it was discovered that the word “Trump” was carved into the mammal’s back.

The incident was first reported by the Citrus County Chronicle, a newspaper in Crystal River, Florida, on Jan. 11, 2021. It subsequently received worldwide coverage and went viral when media personality Exavier Pope shared a video of the mutilation on Twitter.

a manatee with his name scraped into its back was found in the headwaters of Florida’s Homosassa river (via Citrus County Chronicle). At the moment it’s unclear whether the animal was actually injured, or if the name was just scraped into the algae on its back, but it’s a crime either way.

from The Verge

Personally I don't give a flying phuq about politics when it comes to this Manatee, this is bang out of order.

Let me make some predictions.

The Left will blame the Right.

The Right will blame the Left.

This is all kinds of wrong and, if you think it isn't, you are part of the problem!

Carving manatees is frowned upon around here

So is Snopes

Next?

I agree it should have never happened. The manatee are the most inoffensive of creatures.

Lol
This sounds fake as hell.

If that is real someone needs to hang from a tall tree. Abusing animals is pathetic.

How do you catch and harm a 12 ton creature, without getting tail punted into next week?

Why would an evil leftist pond scum asswipe do that?

Oh the singularity! They should put this manatee and that one turtle that had the plastic straw in its nose on a world tour with Greta Thunberg.

Please note I make no assumption about the political affiliation of the culprit. I wanted this to be impartial.

It's what they do and then blame it on Trump supporters, kind of what they did in Washington D.C..

I can't figure that out any more than why an evil rightist pond scum asswipe would do that.

I don't get why a human would do that DB! No Bipartisan bull# here. Merely outrage and shock.

Realy?

You're an openly anti-Trump foreigner. Which is fine, you have every right and freedom to be such.

You posted it in a forum called US Political Madness.

And you expect me to believe you're non-partisan.

I was born at night, it just wasn't last night.

Obviously, it was either aNtIfA or the blacks.

DB, clearly the Manatee has Trump carved in It, do I think, 100% it was a Trump fan? Not that gullible...

How exactly did they scrape a name that big on its back?
That’s a big animal and its hard to believe it just sat there and let it happen.
When it say “carved” I think cutting so it’s painful.

Do you have an alibi?
