Giddyap Downsy Dolphin!

Yet another idiot is busted picking up a manatee and letting his toddlers ride it.

As everyone knows, manatees are just dolphins with downs syndrome. Ryan Waterman thought it would be awesome to give cuddles to a manatee and then let his toddlers try to ride it. Even more awesome is that Ryan posted the shotes on Facebook. From WPTV here:

A Fort Pierce man was arrested Sunday after posting Facebook photos of himself and two young children petting and holding a manatee calf, according to the Florida Fish and Wildlife Conservation Commission (FWC).

The FWC filed charges against Ryan William Waterman, 21, with the State Attorney’s Office regarding a violation of the Florida Manatee Sanctuary Act after receiving tips from a citizen who saw photos of the incident on Facebook. The act makes it a second-degree misdemeanor to intentionally “molest, harass, or disturb” any manatee.

21 eh? Maybe this rookie was letting his girlfriend’s kids ride the downsy dolphin. How romantic!
