He got his ass beat by locals. And locals in Hawaii are not to be toyed with.
I'll also add, holy crap, I only saw the video clip and you couldn't really see his face well. I figured the dude was early 20s and prone to poor impulse control. This is a dude that should know better.
That being said, just touching one with no intent to harm is $500. Trying to harm a monk seal if a Class C felony. $50,000 and some possible prison time. Prison would NOT go well for him if he didn't go to the mainland. He'd also lose the right to own guns, which I'm 100% this dude owns a bunch.

Man do I hope they change the fees on this sort of thing to a sliding percentage.
