Tourists Get Unreasonably Offended When Local Hawaiian Tells Them To Back TF Away From Endangered Seals
Okay, we want to start this off by saying that we value the importance of endangered animals tremendously and believe we as humans need to do everything in our power to help endangered species recover and succeed. Now that our position is overwhelmingly clear, we bring you to the debacle of the day. Soooo what had happened was…a couple of tourists visiting Hawaii were getting dangerously close to a roped-off area containing Hawaiian seal monks, one of the most endangered species in the world.
A local Hawaiian woman walks by, witnesses the tourists attempting to get closer to the seals, and promptly tells them to back tf away. These tourists have the audacity to take offense to her warning. Y'all, it ain't personal, it's about protecting an endangered species, simple as that. We completely support this woman in her attempts to protect the chonki boi seals who were just trying to catch a few sun rays on the beach. To the original poster of this thread- you are totally NOT the a-hole and don't you forget it!

"This is a beach that's often visited by the monk seals and is only accessible by kayak. Tourists and locals alike paddle out here, and the company that rents the kayaks DOES state in its introduction video to keep away from the seals."
TELL THEM SIS.

"Cut to me walking back over with my husband, brother, and brother's friend, and I see it happening again with another tourist couple, 3 feet away from this animal, squatting to take pictures up close. At this point, I'm peeved enough to walk over and basically tell these people off. Which I do."
It needed to be done, and you done did it.

"It's a big guy and his girlfriend, wife, whatever, and I'm a 5'1" small local woman, so both of them start telling me not to be an asshole about it and that I could've been nicer."
Orrr the tourists could have assumed that the ropes were there for a reason and avoided this unpleasant exchange altogether! But hey, what do we know.
