Gd job locals, team work always work… happy she's 👍..
Serves em right
🤦🏽♀️ You can't play with wild animals. They aren't cuddly toys. They will hurt you.
We were born with feet, that's an indicator of our environment!!!! Hope that she is going to be alright, don't want to see anyone hurt!!!!
Faka is one Karen
Tau ta fali
She actually didn’t do anything wrong. The state declared she did not provoke the seal she was simply in the wrong place at the wrong time.
Charles Darwin's theory strikes again!!
Where's the Lifeguard Kent?
LOL
A lesson is a lesson
Why was she not moving towards shore instead just looking around like DUH DUH 🙄 DUH DAMMM. HOW STUPID
Stupid lafy
We belong on the land, and when we go to the ocean we are just a visitor, so as I guest we should know our place.. if it was a shark It would have been different so consider urself lucky this time.. the seal didn't teach her a good enough lesson, the seal should have took ur arm for a Souvenir to hang in Atlantis.
WTH was wrong with her?
Why didn’t she swim to shore, and OUT of the water.
SORRY, But some people deserve everything coming to them.
Can i call her silly?
Stupid… Leave the wild life alone
Wth, make her walk!
GOOD FOR THEM!
The seal had her baby with her, makes sense
Why did they carry that adult lol
Wonder what seal meat taste like 🤔
I was on there. The beach was clearly roped off with signs that says to stay out because a monk seal is nursing her baby. The lady ignored the sign. No sympathy from me!
