Manatees in court
 

This may be a stretch, but I think I can imply from your comment that if I
can knock jetski slobs off their craft, I can run them over. :-)

When I said manatee do not belong here, is because there were inported
from
West India to miami to eat the plants clogging the cannals.

OK, but so what? They're here. If you move to a new neighborhood and the
locals don't like your family, is it OK for them to run you down with
their
cars? :-)

Info from SaveTheManatee.org:

Fossil remains of manatee ancestors show they have inhabited Florida for
about 45 million years. Modern manatees have been in Florida for over one
million years (probably with intermittent absences during the Ice Ages);
i.e., a lot longer than people have lived here. The present Florida manatee
(Trichechus manatus latirostris) is a subspecies endemic to Florida. Genetic
studies to date indicate that it is not derived from the populations in
Mexico or Central America, but more likely colonized Florida from the
Greater Antilles thousands of years ago, after the last Ice Age. However,
there is no evidence that manatees are now entering Florida from Central
America, the Caribbean, or anywhere else. The manatees in Florida today have
every right to be considered Florida natives.

The scientists who produced this information....are they good Christians? If
not, this information may be suspect.

Speed should be regulated according to depth. Who's in a hurry,
anyway, and why?

Guys with leeetle tiny pee-pees. :-)


Or enlarged prostates and no holding tank!

Or little tiny pee-pees that make it impossible to pee over the side
without getting their side decks and brogues wet?

No, no, you can't "knock [them -tks] off" with your boat, you must
use something like the Poop cannon holding tank evacuation device to
blow them off, then throw then a bunch of biodegradable T.P., then
you can sail over them over in the confusion, all by accident, of
course.

The undeniable truth we must face is that PWCs will not slice up
manatees like a prop would. They may, however give the manatees huge
linear hickies.

Do you think that would raise their social standing with other
manatees, like the kids seem to think publicly displayed hickies do?

Maybe we need regulations so that PWCs all go to manatee
reservations to boost their morale, and ours?

This cabin fever is getting out of hand.

Oh, well, then, the answer is obvious. Like other Florida natives,
there should be reserves set aside for them, for their own
protection, well away from the areas most attractive to hazards, and
they should be encouraged to move there, or be killed by the cavalry
on honkin' big government paid speedboats!

What's the guvamint for, if it won't make the water safe for
expensive hi speed props?

Shame!

I think the hickies might cause a drop in their population. Think about it:

Mrs Manatee: Hmmm....what's that mark on your neck?
Mr. Manatee: Umm...I ran into a door.
Mrs. Manatee: Yeah right. You can sleep over by that big oyster for the next
month or three, you *******!
