Occurred on August 8, 2023 / Fort Walton Beach, Florida, USA
Info from Licensor: "It happened on Beasley Beach, Fort Walton Beach City. One guy saw how the fishermen hurt the pelican (hooked it with a big fishhook on the pier). The pelican flew several hundred meters from the pier, but could no longer move. An eyewitness to the incident reported the problem to beach lifeguards. One of them quickly grabbed the pelican and dragged it ashore. At that moment I took out my phone and started filming."
