38 year old Igor Mykhaylovych Lytvynchuk was charged and arrested on wednesday for allegedly harassing, tormenting, and throwing a large rock at an endangered species of Hawaiian Monk Seal while on vacation in Maui. The rock was about the size of a coconut according to witnesses and narrowly missed hitting the seal's head. When arrested and told he may be fined for what he had done, Igor responded saying he was "rich enough to pay the fines". The seal was reported partly immobile after the initial incident, but its current status has not been updated. This has upset many people because of the strong environmental protection programs in Hawaii, and he could face up to a year in prison.
