Engangered indeed:

Classifying manatees as an endangered species has got to be one of the
stupidest things that Federal Fish and Wildlife has ever done. It's a
classic case of government overreach from an ageny co-opted by
pressure groups.

The last line of the seal part of the story may be a more significant
reason to keep swimmer out of Crystal River than just bothering the
manatees.
I bet the fecal coliform numbers are in the high 3 digits. A manatee
****s about 10 pounds a day.

We have a friend in LaJolla and she is losing her business over
seagull ****, the other problem the LaJolla government will not do
anything about. They have taken over the business district and nobody
will let anyone to do anything to run them off. Prime commercial
property is now a guano plantation.

They are a protected species. I think federal.

You can't kill them but you should be able to scare them away or just
make a place unattractive to them.



I was out there a few months ago. The gulls come and go. Down the coast
a tad, the big hotel where I stay has outdoor events on a lawn adjacent
to the ocean, and when it does, it hires a guy with trained hawks. If
gulls approach, the hawks take off from their stands and scatter the
gulls. I have no idea how he trained the hawks, but I've seen it done a
few times.

The La Jolla government has taken a number of steps to try to control
the gull problem. They're not sitting on their winglets.

But wait...why would a Libertarian expect the government to solve a
problem for a business person?
