  • Beach goers at Kaimana Beach said they heard Rocky panicking in the morning - barking back and forth looking for her pup. After five minutes, they said she found her pup near the Natatorium. Shortly after, the mother seal charged at the nearest swimmer.

    Swimmer needs to have charges pressed she ignored signs. Right now I think the beach needs to be closed until further notice. Wild life needs to be first right now.

      All you guys saying she was warned numerous times not to swim there. Where are you getting your information from? Where did the swimmer enter the water from? Are you one of the people that warned her not to swim there?

    Thankfully she got out of it with her life. Not sure what exactly happened since there seems to be a mixture of assumption and facts.
    On a more serious note: *Hawai'i is still very much a sacred land. She deserves so much better than what has been inflicted on her for over a century. As a Native Hawaiian woman it disgusts me how our beautiful nation has been reduced to a fricken vacation theme spot!! This is not news to locals but enough is enough. The US state government has been oppressive more than anything! Where is the homes built for Native Hawaiians that been waiting for decades, some already make (died) waiting for a home. Our land polluted with western BS propaganda. The land, the culture, our people have been violated so badly. More of these incidents where nature fights back, the land fights back will probably occur. I believe. The spirit of Hawai'i is not dead, she will fight back in ways we won't expect. I believe that whole heartedly.*
