Transridgeinc Avis 

A very bad owner, please make him business close

Disgusting owner, who enjoys abusing native wildlife in Hawaii

I contracted TransridgeInc to import my seal and my rock from Hawaii. They said no problem. I said "please be careful with the seal, it's very fragile".

My delivery turns up and the rock had been left in the same box with the seal. No Styrofoam, no bubble wrap, no 'FRAGILE' label; they didn't even include a little silica gel package.

Naturally I was outraged so I contacted the owner. He said "we're rich, I'll pay for it". Haven't had a followup email as they appear to be tied up with other court related orders.

Disappointing experience. Wouldn't recommend.

IGOR LYTVYNCHUK threw a rock at an monk seal and then said "I'm rich, I don't care". What a worthless loser.

HONOLULU – United States Attorney Ken Sorenson announced that Igor Mykhaylovych Lytvynchuk, 38, of Covington, Washington, was charged by criminal complaint on May 12, 2026, for harassing and attempting to harass an endangered Hawaiian monk seal by throwing a large rock at the seal’s head, in violation of the Endangered Species Act and Marine Mammal Protection Act. Lytvynchuk was arrested today, May 13, 2026, near Seattle, Washington by Special Agents of the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration. Lytvynchuk is currently in custody and is scheduled for an initial appearance on these charges in the United States District Court for the Western District of Washington (Seattle courthouse) on May 14, 2026 at 9 AM.

According to the criminal complaint unsealed today, Lytvynchuk was observed and filmed on May 5, 2026 walking along the shoreline in the Lahaina area of Maui tracking the movements of a Hawaiian monk seal, known as “Lani,” as she playfully pushed a floating log close to the shoreline. According to the complaint, Lytvynchuk then picked up a large rock, took aim, and threw the rock directly at Lani’s head. The rock narrowly missed her nose, startling her, and causing her to rear up out of the water. Witnesses immediately confronted Lytvynchuk and told him they had contacted law enforcement, to which Lytvynchuk reportedly responded that he was “rich enough to pay the fines,” before walking away. According to witnesses, Lani remained largely immobile for an extended period of time after the incident, which caused much concern over her welfare.

If convicted, Lytvynchuk, faces up to one year in prison for each charge, plus a term of supervised release. Lytvynchuk also faces a fine of up to $50,000 under the Endangered Species Act and a fine of up to $20,000 under the Marine Mammal Protection Act.
