And here we are told that boat propellers are the primary cause to injury of the manatee.

Oh! The HUGE MANATEE!

HA! In First!

[Alex Murphy]

Police busted a Florida woman for an unusual crime — riding a manatee like a body board.

Oh the hugh manatee!

[knittnmom]

I’m surprised the manatee put up with her. They’re supposed to be very shy.

[Pearls Before Swine]

Manatees are huge, bigger than dolphins. But, it’s ok to ride dolphins at the aquariums and make them do all sorts of foolish tricks. Why? Because the government has said it’s OK?

I doubt the manatee was harmed. In fact, I’m surprised the woman wasn’t harmed either.

[I cannot think of a name]

I really don’t know why she called them. From that picture, I would say there are about 800,000 suspects in South Florida.

[RitchieAprile]

did the manatee smoke a cigarette afterwards?

[Mr. Silverback]

NAPL!

“To her credit, she called us up and let us know she was the one in the pictures,” Sgt. David DiSano of the Pinellas County Sheriff’s Office

Is this really why you chose a career in law enforcement, Sergeant?

[Mr. Bird]

I envy her. Having grown up in Central Fla, I always wanted to do that.

Woman busted for riding a manatee in Florida, violating state law

There's a state law against riding a manatee? Has this been a big problem in Florida?

I did a manatee dive a few years ago. The guide was very clear that they will prosecute for riding them. Every single one had prop scars and one had a bullet scar.

[Daffynition]

Maybe the manatee *came on* to her first?
