It seems that the first annual Ministry Manatee Hunt and Barbecue, while a roaring success, was not quite roaringly successful enough. It seems that the total number of Manatees is on the rise, and some are even talking of removing the dread sea cow from the endangered list. Back in '91, the manatee census revealed that there were 1261 of the beasties skulking about in the waters of Florida. The most recent census tallies 2,812 of the critters. Which means that despite killing over 400 and donating the meat to soup kitchens and homeless shelters, we still have not been able to even reduce, let alone eliminate, the population of manatees. It seems that we will have to redouble our efforts, and institute a semi-annual Ministry Manatee Hunt and Barbecue.
