Has anybody tried to feed manatees in the wild. I'm sure i'ts probably illegal but screw that. Would they come over for some fresh romanie lettuce, or perhaps a crisp, delicious apple?

Manatees love lettuce, but the best way to get manatees to hang out is to spray a hose with fresh water. Manatees love fresh water.

Do not feed or water a wild manatee! Manatees have been finding their own food and water for hundreds of years. They do not need our help. When you feed any wild animal, including the manatee, you bring it closer to its worst enemy, man. In the case of manatees, feeding and watering attracts manatees to marinas where they are more likely to be hit by a boat.

Sure, screw the laws. They only make laws protecting wildlife to screw up your fun, right?
I mean really, those rangers and zoologists and such have nothing better to do than talk to legislators. That's why they learned all that stuff, so they could hobnob with lawmakers.

Very careful if you want to keep your arm.
