Goal: Apprehend culprit who disfigured a manatee for political purposes.
Not even wild animals can escape the toxic political atmosphere in the United States. Officials are investigating a case involving a manatee with distinctly man-made marking. Someone had maimed the animal by writing the word “Trump” on his back.
This particular manatee appears to be a fixture of the Homosassa River in Florida. While the manatee population as a whole has become endangered by habitat destruction and boating, this poor animal was victimized for someone’s sick political statement. The stunt could result in federal charges once the perpetrator is identified.
