Outrage is spreading online after a viral video allegedly showed a man throwing rocks at “Kaiwi,” a critically protected Hawaiian monk seal species with only around 1,400 individuals remaining in the wild. The disturbing footage shocked animal lovers worldwide and sparked urgent calls for justice.

Wildlife experts warn that Hawaiian monk seals are among the rarest marine mammals on the planet, already facing threats from habitat loss, pollution, and human disturbance. Conservation groups say incidents like this highlight the desperate need for stronger wildlife education and protection.

Federal authorities continue investigating the case as public anger continues to grow across social media.
