What is really, REALLY stupid about this - seals and I believe walrus had been BEACHING themselves for a while on that beach and they had called Sea World to get help. Now, DUHHH, why would people be allowed to swim where this is happening? And comes along of group of unsuspecting dummies all together in wet suits.
If any kind of sea life suddenly beaches itself in front of you in numbers (has happened to me) as my lifeguard friend says “If THEY can’t deal with it, YOU don’t want to”. This was totally unnecessary death.
