Manatees are dying, man! From Yahoo News:
Manatee deaths jumped by a third in January compared with the same month last year, but exactly what killed half the animals remains unknown, state wildlife officials said. Last month, 48 of the endangered animals are known to have died statewide, 12 more than in January 2005. Half of the deaths were listed as cause unknown because the manatees' bodies were decomposed when they were retrieved, said Ken Arrison, a biologist with the state's Marine Mammal Pathobiology Lab in St. Petersburg. Officials are waiting on lab test to determine if red tide, a toxic algae bloom, was involved. Six of the manatees died due to cold stress, a cause that surprised wildlife officials because January's weather was mild, Arrison said. Others died from watercraft injuries and natural causes. The winter is a critical time for manatees because, when water temperature drops below 68 degrees, the animals head for warmer canals, rivers and bays, often puts them in close proximity to boats. Last year, 396 manatee deaths were reported. The highest toll was recorded in 1996, when 415 died. What's killing them is man's inhumanity to his fellow man and/or animal. We live in a world that is winding down and spiraling into chaos. We are on a one way trip to destruction but as long as we have our mindless distractions, the suffering continues. Please, give to a manatee foundation or, better yet, take a manatee into your home. I have 12 of them. I want to have the same number of manatees as I do Grammy's but it's not like you can buy the things on eBay. Stop the wars! Save the manatees!
