For touching a seal laying on the beach? Its not like every person in Hawaii much less tourists know these things are protected. You are talking about a state that caters to tourists feeding fish, swimming with dolphins, etc.

I'm all in on the tourists are idiots and shouldn't mess with wildlife. This lady should have just got in the background and got a pic. But its also not like she was trying to harm or bother the seal, she touched it for a fraction of a second.

Native Hawaiians despise Haoles but without tourism they’d all be unemployed.

I think Hawaiians would be happy if none of us "mainlanders" would ever came there again.

On topic, what horse shite. The world burns and these slapdicks are in a tizzy over this.....AND I regularly deal with forestry related investigations for EAs and NEPA.

let’s not forget these were Americans in one of the 50 American states.

It wasn't a black seal. This is a non story.

They clearly don't think that since they took ownership of their mistake and are not contesting the fine.

The issue isn't that they made a mistake, the issue is how big of a deal people are making out of it.

I'd say death threats over something this minor is maybe just taking it a tad bit too far but hey maybe we just disagree.

I had no idea those were endangered. I have a picture of me pretending to poke one with a stick (didn't actually touch it or mess with it) on my facebook. I think I'll take that down.

Hawaii is just different. They are EXTREMELY serious about Monk seals and Green Turtles. Well, their environment in general but those two are heavily protected.


Well, now I know it, because you capitalized extremely, like a Jr. High girl. Thanks, bro.
If only they were serious enough about it to put a fricking sign up.

Now I am confused. Are they EXTREMELY serious, or not enough to break out a sheet of paper, and a crayon?

no wonder the seals are endangered...they must have been easy prey for the natives. People enraged over touching a seal are over dramatic pussies

Many Hawaiians are insufferable, borderline racists that hate all haole. If it weren’t for the natural beauty of the place and it’s strategic military location they’d still be stuck in the early 1900s.

Being enraged over someone touching a seal is just another way to send out virtue signals online.

Current events lead me to believe this does not apply to America, and suggesting it could lead you to be called a word ending in "-ist"

Probably white women who are the most upset. Social media is their kryptonite.

Wish I had a Twitter account just to get on there and tell Karen Camp she is such a fricking loser.
