@yass.unitedstates: A Seattle tourist is under investigation after allegedly throwing a large rock at Lani, a beloved endangered monk seal in Lahaina, Hawaii. Video of the incident went viral, and shortly after, a local man was filmed confronting and punching the tourist on the beach. Hawaiian officials condemned the tourist’s actions, with some locals praising the man who stepped in to defend the seal. Authorities say the suspect could face federal wildlife protection charges, including heavy fines and possible jail time under the Marine Mammal Protection Act. #hawaii #tourist #viralvideo #seal #viral
