Massachusetts couple may face fine for helping injured baby seal | Fox News: "The couple told MyFoxBoston.com that when a volunteer from the Boston-based New England Aquarium arrived, they didn't want to touch the seal, which was placed back into the water.
Seals are protected under the federal Marine Mammal Protection Act, which makes it illegal to touch or harass the mammals. The couple said they may face a $5,000 fine.
Aquarium officials told the station that even though the couple's intentions were good, anyone who thinks a seal is in distress should instead call the U.S. Coast Guard or emergency officials."
They're "protected" so you can't help them!?!
