Spaw and Wes,
Why stop at manatees and bald eagles and peregrines?  Ever read that "Modest Proposal" by Jonathan Swift (I think)?  Seems the young of the poor white trash taste pretty good, too--and solve the problem of population explosion, to boot!

(Wonder what jet skiers taste like with a little barbecue sauce... .  Maybe we could get manatees used to them as a food source.)

P.S.,
Khandu,
Wasn't the manatee or the dugong the creature that gave rise to the myth of the mermaid?  Wunner how much grog those sailors of old hadda been drinkin' 'fore one of those started lookin' good to them!
