Ungrateful manatee completely unappreciative of the laws stopping me from throwing him on the smoker for 12 hours and making pulled manatee po' boys.

Jacksonville, FL — An local manatee has chosen to remain blissfully ignorant of the sociopolitical barriers preventing me from consuming him.

The local sea beef has made zero effort to show any appreciation to state or federal conservation officials who would arrest and imprison me if I chose to turn him into a delicious, aquatic prime rib with au jus, or a pulled manatee po' boy.

When asked for comment, the son of a bitch rolled on his back and played coy.
