Last Monday, someone threw a video on Douyin. In the video, a purple-clad mother with two children, one of whom is also dressed in purple, throws sand at sea lions on the beach three times before and after while her mother stands by and watches. There are many other parents with children who come to see the sea lions up close. They were very angry when they saw the sea lions constantly twisting their bodies because they were harassed by the little girl. At this time, the coastal lifeguards also noticed the commotion of the sea lions, so they shouted through the loudspeaker: "Little girl in purple, you can leave now, thank you." The daughter who heard the shouting walked to her mother, who took her daughter's hand, and then the mother and daughter looked at the shouter and wandered somewhere else.
According to Robin, president of the Sierra Club Seals, "Sea lions often roost on beaches to bask in the sun to regulate their body temperature and keep them warm. Despite the close relationship with sea lions, they are wild animals, especially during the mating season of sea lions, and they are more aggressive than ever, not to mention that there have been cases of sea lions hurting people before.
Netizens saw the video and left messages expressing their anger, condemning the mother, who is a guardian, for not doing anything wrong in the face of her child.
