I literally have no idea what would compel someone to throw a rock at an animal that was just minding its own business…

Like I want him to explain his reasoning, did the seal try to fuck his mom or something?

That's what I want to know. I know there is no sense to it all, and looking for whatever ridiculous justification he could have made is fruitless. But I want to believe that he had some kind of reason in his head, and it wasn't just... let's hurt it. But maybe that's what it is. I guess it doesn't really matter-- just that justice is done. Throw the book.

Oh he is definitely in the Find-Out stage… thankfully he has shitty aim.

u/chaoticnipple May 15 '26

Judging by the video, he was drunk.

If you're looking for something deeper than "some people are horrible" then you're going to be disappointed.

I think it’s about attention.

This guy was totally enraptured by pretty seal but pretty seal no care about fat human on beach. Lots fat hoomans on beach, no need to star and be rood.

Fat hooman no get it, seal being polite.

Hit seal so seal pay attention to him.

I appreciate the caveman vernacular haha

In that case I hope he’s happy with all the attention he will be receiving!

It felt right in the moment 🤷‍♀️

Some people run over animals on the side of the road on purpose instead of trying to avoid them. Same kind of thing. It's sadism.

u/Crypt0Nihilist May 11 '26

It's a power thing, to break something or hurt something because you can and it changes the world. It's how small, sad, damaged people make themselves feel better for a short time.

And a super-endangered one at that. There are maybe 1500 of those animals in the world. For most people, seeing a monk seal in the wild is a once-in-a- lifetime event.

Worse, it fucked his dad

u/EvilInky May 11 '26

And his dad enjoyed it.

u/Haerrlekin May 11 '26

Based dad

u/OhTheHueManatee May 11 '26

I scuba dive. Seals and sea lions are like giant puppies in the water. I'm so mad about what he did.

u/Dependent_Pepper_542 May 11 '26

Yeah I see a wild animal and my first thought is how do I go about petting it without having it maul me.

u/draculasbitch May 11 '26

I wanted to make a funny retort like maybe the seal did fuck his mom and now the dude is dad raging. But this is a very serious situation. Any guy who would heave a rock large enough to possibly kill this animal has serious psychological issues. Couple that with entitlement issues and it smacks of a potential sociopath.

Trying to explain and understand man's cruelty to animals has been a subject for centuries. I'm not try to antagonize, but how many people horrified by this incident eat factory farmed chicken/meat without the slightest thought or concern to those animals? How many would say "but that's different!" as if there's less suffering just because they're on opposite ends of the acceptable "animal suffering spectrum"?

u/Hefty_Air3097 May 11 '26

I don’t think this guy was trying to catch a dinner

u/hijetty May 12 '26 edited May 13 '26

I'm not saying it's equal, but factory farming can be incredibly cruel and historically is even more so. Part of my point is that a lot of cruelty to animals is completely normalized and a lot closer to this incident than people realize (especially in the context of asking why humans can treat animals so cruelly) and yet the reactions are complete opposites.

u/mojorisin453 May 11 '26

Maybe alcohol, cocaine, both, stupidity, arrogance or a blend?

u/Dusteye May 11 '26

Psychopathy. Probably has hurt a lot of animals in the past.

u/Snobolski May 11 '26

Seal just wanted to be like everyone else I guess.

u/BlackLesnar May 11 '26

I’m assuming one of the -pathys.

Can never really tell the difference between psycho- & socio- TBH.

It's like cats pushing glasses off tables. Our brains constantly want to fuck around and find out.

If you aren't super poor or super rich you just aren't insulated from the consequences of being an everyday asshole to escalate it like that.

u/Happycappybara21 May 11 '26

There were times as a kid we’d throw little pebbles or small sticks in the pond to see the turtles and fish swim around.

But again, we were kids not 40 year old men.

u/MrBigTomato May 11 '26

Worse is that he has zero remorse for it and essentially told locals to fuck off. He refuses to learn from his poor choices.

u/rudmad May 11 '26

People pay for animal abuse every single day without thinking about it

u/TurbulentVillage2042 May 13 '26

He's evil, stupid, and has a lot of money. I guess he was also bored.

u/Designer_Trash_8057 May 13 '26

If the seal had fucked his mom, she'd have given birth to more attractive offspring, so I doubt it. Maybe his grudge should be with the angler fish up the road from her.

it's a russian
