Judge relaxes travel rules for man accused of hitting monk seal
Original: Judge eases travel restrictions for man charged with throwing rock at Monk Seal
A judge has eased travel restrictions for a man facing charges of throwing a rock at an endangered Hawaiian monk seal. The ruling loosens limits placed on him while his case proceeds. Monk seals are protected under federal law, and people throwing rocks at them have previously faced serious penalties, drawing widespread attention.
Why now: People are reacting to the court's leniency toward a man accused of harming a protected endangered species.
