Actor Dave Bautista offers $20,000 to find person who etched ‘TRUMP’ on manatee

- AGENCIES /

"Guardians of the Galaxy" star Dave Bautista has offered a reward of USD 20,000 for informatio­n on the person who wrote 'TRUMP' on the back of a manatee, a marine mammal also known as sea cows.

"If there's not already a reward for the arrest and conviction of the low life scummy MAGATs that did this I will throw in USD 20,000. And I promise there will be bonuses to that reward!" Bautista said in a tweet.

According to an earlier CNN report, the manatee was discovered on January 10 in Florida's Homosassa River with the President's name scraped on its back, according to a news release from the Center for Biological Diversity.

Earlier, Center for Biological Diversity had announced a reward of USD 5,000 for informatio­n of the accused.

Following the incident, Jaclyn Lopez, Florida director at the Center for Biological Diversity, told The New York Times, "Manatees are not billboards, and people should not be messing with these sensitive and imperiled animals for any reason."
