Then things turned violent, per witnesses. “He picked up a rock the size of a coconut and he threw it right, directly aiming toward the monk seal’s head,” Maui resident Kaylee Schnitze told Hawaii News Now. The disturbing incident sparked outrage…

He could call us only from his car when he was alone. Holiday celebrations stopped, and Sunday family…
