The St. Petersburg Times has a column by Helen L. Spivey: “Help save Rosie and other manatees before it’s too late”

Suddenly and sadly, I realized that I cannot buy a ticket to free Rosie. If I win the lottery, she would be in greater danger, as well as all manatees, if these lawmakers are able to strip away protection from manatees by gutting these laws – and it looks like that will happen.
I am currently writing letters to Florida’s Sens. Mel Martinez and Bill Nelson and the Florida Fish and Wildlife Conservation Commission begging they not allow this to happen.[/i:0a225cd285]
