Protected both under the Endangered Species Act and Marine Mammals Protection Act. There's probably state charges as well.
You're not even supposed to approach monk seals. And if the Feds decline to prosecute, he can meet justice another way at the
hands of native Hawaiians. Just another self serving rich sociopath taking up space. And if anyone thinks that's a rush to judgement;
res ipsa loqutur. There is no conceivable excuse for his behavior on this planet or any other. If someone does
that to such an animal - they'd do it to a child if they could get away with it. Fuck him and his business and his personal life.
