Yup somewhere between eagle and baby seal anyway. After you take that
pretty white fur, it would be a shame to waste the meat. ;-)

Seriously, the Seminoles and Calusa ate the Manatees and I imagine
that, during the depression they were a prime source of protein but
now they are just pests in a lot of places.
I will say the folks in Crystal River are on more shaky ground
complaining than the people near power plants that are now under court
order to artificially heat the water in excess of the normal waste
heat from the generation of power. Screw global warming, we need to
save the manatee ... huh?

When you draw manatees to a power plant intentionally and that power
plant is on the main east west route across Florida, aren't you just
asking them to be hit by boats?

It would be like putting piles of corn and a salt lick in the median
of I-75 and then wringing your hands because so many deer are being
killed.


I'd say thats a pretty good analogy...

Yeah Bill. Sea cow is right. Might be kind of blubbery but would be nice to try a steak.
