A manatee with 'TRUMP' scraped into its back was itself disturbing. But it reflects a deeper environmental problem

Days after US rioters stormed Capitol Hill in January, a manatee was found in a Florida river with the word TRUMP" scraped into its back. The aftermath of the disturbing incident revealed a pervasive left-right divide that has long plagued environmental debate.
Polarised views dominate discussion on critical issues such as climate crisis and biodiversity protection. Typically, the left calls for more environmental protections, and the right claims these protections threaten economic prosperity or individual rights.
The election of the Biden administration raised hopes of a new dawn in environmental protections. Our research, however, suggests entrenched left-right views will continue to stymie effective environmental action in the United States just as they do in Australia.

This just pisses me off to no end, it took a group of fucking sadistic MF'ers to do this to a mammal, that does nothing else except try to survive, and only in fucking Florida would they do this............sick fuckers........
