The Manatee River is in in Manatee County, Florida and runs between the cities of Palmetto, to the…read morenorth, and Bradenton, to the south. It is a 36-mile-long river in the northeastern corner of Manatee County and flows into the Gulf of Mexico at the southern edge of Tampa Bay. Wildlife in the river include manatees and alligators, as well as, various types of fish. Shrimp is, even, harvested from its waters. Around the Manatee River is a birder's paradise with many species of birds can be found. My favorite is the wood stork, which is listed as endangered species. A few of the birds are considered threatened such as the snowy plover, bald eagle, Florida scrub-jay, and peregrine falcon. Other common birds that can be seen around the Manatee River include cattle egret, white ibis, great blue heron, and yellow-crowned night heron. Human development has a great impact on the environment of the Manatee River. Development (slash & burn) had increased greatly in the area surrounding the Manatee River and surrounding area, and not surprisingly, the water quality within the river has decreased. The use of organic pesticides is increasing danger in the ecological communities. The destruction of the forested wetlands and uplands for housing tracts, etc. in the area has caused excess nutrients to build up in local reservoirs. Also, in these reservoirs there have been increased levels of lead, zinc, and copper. Earth Day in Palmetto has included clean-ups of the banks are local wetlands. We need to pledge to stop polluting these essential waterways. They are home to the creatures who call this river home. It is, also, affecting the health of people who get their water from it.

I realized that my review of Southeastern Guide Dogs isn't accurate now. Unfortunately even before…read moreCOVID-19 they removed their program that lets the public interact with their puppies. I'd be lying if I said I wasn't heartbroken by this. Playing with the puppies and learning about how they could grow up to be service dogs was such a wonderful activity. We did it more than once and just loved it. Probably a couple people didn't act properly and ruined it for the rest of us. In spite of this I still donate money yearly to Southeastern Guide Dogs. They provide incredibly trained dogs to help those with visual impairment, veterans with PTSD and other disabilities, and children with huge challenges for FREE. The dogs that don't pass the program are adopted to loving families. I miss those puppies but I still support them and their mission to help others.

Secondly, I approached SE for a dog as my service dog had passed and was told that I don't qualify in a very rude comment by the staff. I am a Vietnam Veteran, United States Marine with PTSD. I have problems with walking but that would not prevent me from walking with a service dog so trained. I spoke with a physician friend of mine who annually donates a lot of money to the organization. I don't think he will be supporting it this year. Sincerely Gordon Kuhn

I was told he "was on a downward spiral" which was 100% not true. I had visited and donated to this facility before and I was told on the phone the morning of the surrender that they do not even euthanize for distemper which convinced me to trust them with this little sweet innocent adolescent. I gave them money to aid in his specific care and what a total joke of a place this is. DO NOT trust this "rescue" as that is not what these people are. DO NOT donate money to this cause as they are obviously not in this for the right reasons and I unfortunately found that out the hard way... at the sacrifice of a sweet little helpless baby. RIP Tyson. You didn't deserve this.
