Give me some credit, I stole "Malaria" from someone else on the net.

It could explain the funny color of Trump's skin.  Malaria can cause yellowing.

The more I look at the pictures, the more I’m convinced that the animal wasn’t injured. It really does appear the letters were formed by wiping or scraping the algae, not actually cutting the manatee.

Still a pretty disgusting way to treat an animal.

RE: Manatees and George Takei
It's actually pretty hard to injure a manatee in any meaningful way, even to the manatee. That probably has alot to do with why people fuck with them. They don't really do anything that would startle the average cracker into stopping whatever it is they might be doing.
I am the Infantry. I am my country’s strength in war, her deterrent in peace. I am the heart of the fight… wherever, whenever. I carry America’s faith and honor against her enemies. I am the Queen of Battle. I am what my country expects me to be, the best trained Soldier in the world. In the race for victory, I am swift, determined, and courageous, armed with a fierce will to win. Never will I fail my country’s trust. Always I fight on…through the foe, to the objective, to triumph overall. If necessary, I will fight to my death. By my steadfast courage, I have won more than 200 years of freedom. I yield not to weakness, to hunger, to cowardice, to fatigue, to superior odds, For I am mentally tough, physically strong, and morally straight. I forsake not, my country, my mission, my comrades, my sacred duty. I am relentless. I am always there, now and forever. I AM THE INFANTRY! FOLLOW ME!

Humans worldwide really do not understand we are the invasive species.

RE: Manatees and George Takei
More a disagreement over whether that's a bad or good thing than any disagreement over whether or not we are, I think.

Anywho, fun manatee facts.

They cannot turn their heads.
They cannot hear slow boats.
They cannot outrun fast boats.
Their hair is far more sensitive than their hide.

This is a relative measure of sensitivity - for reference, their entire face and whisker assembly, the most sensitive part of a manatee*....we think, provides about as much sensation as the tip of a human finger. A boat strike to a manatee may feel something like a papercut on a pinky, to us, and that's overestimating. They're built to get bitten and nibbled at by everything that bites and nibbles which they can't outrun....which is....everything that bites and nibbles.

These factors not only explain why they behave as though they were oblivious to danger and unafraid of human beings, but also why human beings tend not to get bound up when they strike or mistreat a manatee. The usual stuff doesn't trigger the usual response, which in turn fails to trigger the same in us. Cut a cat and you'll probably never see it again, and you will likely have feelings about that. Cut a manatee...it will very likely continue doing whatever it was doing before...a practical non event which we might be just as inclined to shrug off as they can be.

To be honest, it's probably harder to keep them still to scrape them than it would be to stab them. They do like it when you pet them, though - so there's probably a balance between whatever mix of fuckery and baited coddling is required to accomplish the task.

Quote:1. If you thought someone carved the word Trump into this manatee - you are a complete fucking moron.
Clearly, someone put the word TRUMP on a manatee 



Quote: It would take a minimum of 14 individual cuts. Do you think it would stand still for this? Only a human is stupid enough to allow you to repeatedly stick them with a piece of steel. Thus born the tattoo industry.
You obviously don't know shit about manatees their tolerance for pain is huge and their skin is thick and they're slow as hell. 


Quote:2. I never said I thought any particular group or person did this - only pointed out that none of us know who did. If you KNOW - you are a cunt - because you have not turned in the perp
Yeah because you didn't imply earlier  ANTIFA was setting up Trump supporters and of course you ignore all the actual evidence pointing to Trump's followers.

The number of COVID deaths is actually 26. Not 26 000. Twenty six.

So, yeah. That’s my focus.
