Animal rights group wants manatees released

A South Florida-based animal rights organization has thrown its support behind a federal plan to release manatees held at the Homosassa Springs Wildlife State Park.

I disagree with this one

Apparently the "group" supporting the release of the manatees is not aware that the manatees have resided at the park for many years, some for over 20 years. It is not a matter of keeping recently rehabilitaed manatees in captivity; it is a matter of continuing to protect manatees to whom a committment was made to protect them. Release recently rehabbed manatees, IF POSSIBLE.NOT this group.
