Who could possibly disagree with this? Everybody loves manatees.
Get ready for a Snooty statue. Say goodbye to a Confederate monument.
A petition in Bradenton, Fla., is calling for a memorial to Confederate veterans to be replaced with a statue of beloved Snooty the manatee, who died in a tragic tank accident at the weekend only days after celebrating his 69th birthday.
Local media reports that thousands have signed the petition, which is the brainchild of local a resident.

they should make a statue of Harambe instead, it would be much more meaningful. or Cecil the lion.
Who cares about a stupid manatee? or are they making a tribute to the family guy creators?

More like replacing a losing, treasonous side's participation trophy with a statue of something rather unique to that area of the world. Originally Posted by mayhem008

So they neglect to show a picture of the statue and they want to replace it with a dead animal? Why does it take an animal to replace a statue like literally these people weren't bothered before and now they care? Yeesh.

If Britain had prevailed in the American Revolution...you think they would have put up a monument to Washington? Originally Posted by mayhem008

I'm just waiting for them to rename all the MLK streets to something else too.
Me thinks Chromie has a whole lot of splaining to do!

69 years old, see what a stress free life does for you?

That was my first thought too. Looking at the picture, was the creature blind? Looks like he had really bad cataracts, if that isn't just lens glare. Originally Posted by gypsybob

History is not being erased. You can still read about the Confederate states in books. Originally Posted by mayhem008
