Flip flops, hoodie and shorts. Don’t think anyone would be in a tidepool dressed from Mens’ Warehouse. Did Rashelle call the police or just critique the man’s fashion?
Rashelle Diaz said she and a friend were enjoying the beach when they noticed a man and a younger lady bent over, sawing or hacking away at something.
Diaz described the scene, saying, “He was decapitating a seal he had already skinned, and separated the skull from the body.”
Diaz confronted the man, informing him that his actions were illegal.
“90% of the locals in Monterey are aware of that. You cannot go near a seal alive or dead. It’s the law,” she said.
The man claimed he had a permit for marine biology research, but Diaz noted he lacked proper safety equipment and identification.
“This man is in flip-flops, huge hunting filet knife. You know, he’s got a hoodie on, some camo shorts. Not professional looking at all,” Diaz said.
